Sleek design values, a location directly opposite the beach and extremely professional staff ensure that this hotel is solidly booked in summer – make reservations well in advance. Fitness facilities include a sauna, hammam, gym and rooftop pool, and there's also a popular rooftop restaurant and bar with great views. Rooms are comfortable, though bathrooms have an awkward shower-over-bath arrangement.
