Can’t wait to return!

Absolutely loved my stay at this special spot and I hope to return! The hotel has so much cute character and the staff is friendly. They have a gorgeous view from the rooftop and a delicious breakfast that is included. Felt almost like a bed and breakfast. We made use of the beach equipment and towels as well. Lovely little town for a family getaway.

The room was wonderful! It is a very comfortable hotel, albeit a bit dated, which is what I like about coastal hotels. We loved the rooftop patio and the morning breakfast and coffee. The only drawback there are no elevators, which made it difficult for my wife to manage the stairs and impossible for my brother-in-law and his wife to consider visiting. Despite the lack of elevators, we are definitly planning return visits.

Location, location, location. Ideal for everything you need in Avila. We had a courtyard room 2nd floor. A little noisey from folks stomping around on the hallway/balcony/aisles and above for a bit. All quiet by 9:00. Lovely breakfast coffee counter on the rooftop, A+! Quality and service outstanding. Room was a little musty from the ocean influence. Could use a good scrub. Overall, would stay again.
