Reviews and Ratings
I was lucky enough to stay at this hotel on a Sunday night, and it was just lovely. The rooms were beautifully situated at the back, offering a peaceful retreat. The service was excellent, with knowledgeable staff providing great suggestions for activities. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the main shopping center and close to the seafront. The dining experience was fantastic with a beautiful sea view from the dining room. Overall, a wonderful stay with a few minor downsides.
My stay at the hotel was simply magical. The room, although lacking a TV, exuded romance and offered an excellent experience. The view of the marvellous landscape and rainbow on the horizon from my window was breathtaking. The twin beds pushed together were fitting for our 35-year marriage, making it a perfect stay.
