Just across the road from the beach, this hotel is significantly more stylish than most of the sun-and-sand accommodation options along this coast. Rooms are modern and fairly minimalist; some have great views of the beach and/or the old town, while others overlook the pool. There's a gym and small spa area, and off-season prices are very fair.
