The hotel offers exceptional service with a warm atmosphere and access to a peaceful beach just across the road. The beds were incredibly comfortable which enhanced my overall experience. While the dining options were enjoyable, there could be more variety at breakfast. The beautifully renovated rooms and peaceful surroundings made my stay quite lovely, but I found the parking to be a bit limited at times.
