First things, first. The staff was WONDERFUL. I have been told that the hotel will undergo a major renovation next winter...I hope so. But the main reason why we did not enjoy our stay was the noise. Its old construction but...the walls are very thin, the room which had a view of the sea, has a bar area directly below and immediately next to the bar there is a promenade, where millions of people walk by 24 hours a day. Not again, for us.
