The hotel California provides everything you need, including a fabulous view, drinks, and extensive local information.
It's clean, quiet, and conveniently located near the town. Although not right on the beach, it's ideal for both adventurers and those seeking relaxation.
Clean and comfortable
The hostel Altamar, where I stayed, was clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly, and while breakfast wasn’t included, it was reasonably priced and good. The location is convenient, being just a minute from the beach and a short walk to the old town. It’s suitable for those on a budget, with clean rooms and basic amenities. Parking isn’t available at the hotel, but there are options nearby.
