• Answer:

  I stayed at the Hotel Icaria in June. It's only about five minutes walk from the beach and a few minutes further to the bars, clubs and restaurants along the seafront. It's also in a good position to walk into the city although there are many bus stops along the street where the hotel is. As for the hotel itself, rooms are clean and have everything you need. The food is really good there too although you'll probably want to eat out most evenings. We shared a pizza though one lunchtime and it was really tasty. There is even a small outside pool although it was pretty cold, but still nice to sit around if you don't fancy the beach. I haven't been to the H10 Marina, but I'd definitely recommend the Icaria.
