Friendly, enthusiastic and thoughtful (they remembered my name and drinks order in every bar and restaurant after the first visit).

The hotel beach is clean though small, but I would certainly recommend going to one of the small islands by ferry's accessible from the nearby jetty, if you are after a bigger beach experience.

unfortunately unfriendly staff - Peppino: do not lose your time, food is average, waiting time is very long, service average and far too expensive for what you get.

In the evenings, I drove my hired car to the city centre and enjoyed the local food and night scenes.
