seafront location cute hosts delicious cheese

i loved the seafront location, it was spot on for exploring the area. the hosts welcomed us warmly and shared their extensive knowledge of the area. the breakfast included a delicious arab-inspired option, cheese baked with honey and zatar. it was an unexpected treat.

The absence of a bar in the lounge was a slight letdown. An honesty bar would be great.
