  : Close to the beach. Thats where the positives end
  : Our flight back to the UK was cancelled so we had to find a hotel room for 2 nights and Al Faro was the only place in town that had rooms going - I now understand why that was. Giacomo, the manager, was extremely rude to us from the moment we stepped in the place. He asked us to cancel our booking with Booking.com and pay in cash which I found to be unprofessional. Giacomo accused us on several occasions of having 4 people stay in a 3 man room - we continually assured him that this simply wasnt the case. Early on the first morning of our stay we were woken up by Giacomo banging at our door with 2 weapon carrying policemen. On Giacomos request, the policemen demanded our passports and aggressively entered the room to search for more guests. As we had previously assured Giacomo, there were only 2 guests staying in the 3 man room - the 3rd guest had left early that morning and there was never 4 people sleeping in the room. This was a harrowing, and stressful experience that has left a very sour taste in our mouths. Giacomo was confrontational about the ordeal despite being completely in the wrong. Upon checking out, we didnt receive anything close to an apology from Giacomo. When booking, we had the choice between sleeping at Al Faro or on the beach. I wish wed chosen the beach. 40min walk from Ambra Night - very inconvenient if going to Sun and Bass

  : It is close to the beach and about 10min walk to the city center. You also have nearby restaurants there
  : The place did not feel comfortsble as it was quite dirty. the door lock in our room was broken dp before we coulf go in we had to play around with the key quite some time.

  : The location is really close to the beach and its very easy walk into town.
  : All the additional charges made this place not worth the money. We think it is strange to have to pay a 250 deposit in cash upon check-in, instead of putting a hold on your credit card. I have also never heard of being charged extra to have towels, sheets and aircon in your room. Upon checkout, having to pay a cleaning fee is also very strange. Surely all of this should just be part of the room cost when you book it. The facilities are also a bit run down. This definitely has the vibes of backpacker accommodation with hotel pricing.
