Payam Hotel

This is an absolute gem of a hotel set slightly outside the main area of town in a quiet cul-de-sac a short walk from all the shopping and restaurants. Our rooms were large, spotless and airy with one of the most comfortable hotel beds I have slept in. We were in the block above reception with large balconies overlooking a lovely cobbled courtyard between the two parts of the hotel and could just see the sea. We loved sitting on our adjoining balconies and having a glass of wine and a chat each evening before and after dinner. The bathroom had a powerful shower plus a spa bath and the design of the shower cubicle meant that you never got water on the floor after the shower as often happens in hotel rooms. Tea, coffee or a mini fridge of water and sodas refilled each day was a nice touch. The variety for breakfast was great and included fresh omelettes if you wanted them. There is a small pool in the beautiful garden which overlooks the sea. The hotel also provides cotton wraps to use on the sunbeds by the pool or for taking to the beach clubs nearby. There is a sister hotel next door with a sushi and cocktail bar and fabulous views across the town and sea which is well worth a visit for the food and live music one night a week. All the staff were friendly, efficient and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. They organised two trips for us both of which were good value, great fun and the group size was small. We can honestly say it was hard to find anything that we didn't like. Would definitely return to this treasure of a hotel.
