Hôtel Perla Rossa

This is a beautiful hotel, oozing elegant sophistication. Understated and modern in its decor, from the tasteful flower arrangements to the art adorning the walls and corners. The staff are incredibly friendly whilst maintaining a high degree of professionalism, and everywhere is spotlessly clean. This is a lovely romantic destination. Unfortunately, two aspects prevented us scoring the hotel more highly. On reflection, for the price, I would have expected a pool. I know the sea is incredibly close but when the sea is rough, and it was, a pool would have been perfect. Secondly, of course the hotel is well situated for the bars and restaurants as it’s on the Main Street. What wasn’t clear was the impact of noise levels from the same bars and restaurants. If you’re not looking to sleep before midnight, you won’t mind this, but it put us off choosing to stay here again. Equally, we chose the least expensive room (although still expensive). This was on the street side. I’d probably consider paying more for the sea view and a balcony is essential, which we didn’t have bit would recommend. This stretches the budget further yet still leaves you in the midst of the noise of the town and no pool. I hadn't appreciated that breakfast wasn’t included so overall, the cost was for a beautifully clean and spacious room but not much else. A word of warning: we were lucky to secure a parking space but there are only three spaces so you need luck on your side.

I’d have liked a pool. The sea isn't everyone’s choice for a morning swim, and you need to be careful of the tides/conditions. There are other hotels very locally, with pools and in quieter locations.
