The hotel offers lovely furniture in the rooms and boasts fantastic views over the countryside, but falls short of feeling as luxurious as expected. The evening lighting could be improved to create a warmer atmosphere. However, the value for money is not justified.

Service

The staff was helping with doors, but their demeanor was a bit too casual for my liking. On the bright side, they were incredibly friendly and helpful, and the beautifully decorated hotel offered amazing food with a lovely outdoor bar area.

Location

The location just makes it perfect, with easy access to the beach and a fantastic outdoor patio eating area. However, the space was ill-considered and next to a furniture piece housing cutlery, impacting staff costs slightly.
