really good experience

relaxing sound fabulous view sea view
My mum and i booked a double room with a balcony that faced the sea. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was very relaxing. the room included elemis toiletries, which i loved, though the room was a bit small. breakfast had fabulous views overlooking the ocean. The setting captured the views perfectly.
the ensuite doors did not close properly, so there was no privacy.
