amazing seaside stay!

private parkingfriendly welcome
i secured private parking just a short walk from the hotel, so convenient. the welcome was really warm and friendly! my room had amazing decor and furnishings. the super comfy bed meant no aches or pains, like, seriously!! the shower was spacious with great water pressure, too. the rooftop terrace offered beautiful views, a nice atmosphere, and super service. blankets were available when it got a little chilly. it was a great spot to watch the sunset, plus, they had d-day fireworks right on the beach!

the pearly cow restaurant has lovely views and tasty, fresh food. the chefs seemed calm even in the open kitchen. the breakfast was cooked to order, ensuring fresh quality. the restaurant next door is also worth considering.

the room was well-equipped. i found the decor choices quite nice.
The restaurant service was slow. it took an unreasonably long time to get our food. Even basic dishes. the delay soured the whole dining experience. also, the breakfast lacked a full vegetarian option. This was pretty disappointing.
