Really good Stay

cute staffelegant decorwarm feelingglass bottles

I found the staff to be very cute. I enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Adrift restaurant (the ambience was perfect!). The hotel decor was elegantly understated throughout. I especially appreciated the fire upon arrival. It created a warm feeling of relaxation.

My room was located at the back of the hotel. I woke to the sound of glass bottles being thrown into the bin early in the morning.

Location

10/10

The hotel setting offers magnificent views of the ocean, with the hotel perched on a cliff. Guests can easily access a good beach located within a short distance. The location is unique.
