amazing balconyfine viewfabulous breakfast
This hotel is really special, I tell you! The staff are wonderful. They greet you so friendly and helpful. My room was amazing. It had a balcony with fine views. Breakfasts were fabulous and really generous, I looked forward to them each morning. Those thoughtful touches, like having the fridge stocked, I appreciated it a lot.
The pool was cold, and the seascape package isn't worth it, I would say.
