“Abingdon House struck me as a place where you're genuinely taken care of. I noted its proximity to both the Riviera International Centre and Torre Abbey Sands Beach, balanced by the distinct quiet of a family-run establishment that feels more like a home than a hotel, with homemade meals crafted from local ingredients and personalized service that extends even to those celebratory touches. The honesty bar certainly adds to that intimate feel.”
