lovely stay near the beach

modest theme reasonable price kind staff

The room was beautiful with lovely colours and a modest beach theme. The staff were kind and accommodating to all requests. I found the price quite reasonable given the location. We could rent bikes and cycle along the promenade in the evening.

I noticed there were no tea bags in the room, which i would have liked since i hate coffee. The provision of a fridge in the room would improve my stay.

This spot have a super location near of the beach. My room includes beach towels and beach chairs to use which make my life easier. I find the staff was friendly and helpful.

The walls seems thin in the room, this may bother light sleepers.
