    Loved the location away from the city centre, but only 10/15 minutes in a taxi from the airport. Right beside the beach. Huge double bed, very comfy. Great high powered shower. City center is about 10 minutes in a taxi, city is very built up, so we enjoyed the hotels location away from the noise. Not many restaurants/cafes but more than enough for a short break. Be prepared to speak a little Spanish, as most of the restaurants do not have English menus. Food and drinks only 5 minutes walk. Supermarket 2 minutes walk away.
