Fantastic Stay with Sea Views!
free breakfast spacious room attentive staff
I really enjoyed the free continental breakfast with a good choice of options. The room I stayed in was spacious. I requested a fan, and the staff quickly provided it for my room (which was very helpful!).
The coffee and tea in the room did not taste the best. It might have been the water.
