Posada del Mar

Posada del Mar

10/10 Excellent
"Amazing location and I got a great deal. Room was very comfortable and clean and the balcony was a nice touch for some fresh air. The staff were amazing - I didn’t pay for breakfast but they told me I can still have it one day, and they kept my bags until ferry check-in time. Would definitely stay here again!"
