I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The location was superb, just a short walk from the beach and with easy access to the town. The rooms were cozy and had everything I needed, including tea making facilities. The dining experience was exceptional with a variety of dishes available. The facilities were great, especially relaxing in the garden with a G&T in hand.
