Les Alizés

Sal


Right at the heart of town, the French-owned Les Alizés, has a mix of comfortable rooms with all the mod cons (flat-screen TVs, in-room fridges) but stiff mattresses. The best rooms have ceramic tile floors and French doors opening onto a small balcony.

Breakfast is served on the lovely 2nd-floor terrace. As with other places in the centre, it can be noisy at night.
