“What stands out is the friendly staff and great location overlooking the sea; family entertainment and a pool add to the appeal, especially for those with children. The rooms offer sea views, and the sound of the waves makes for a relaxing stay; that said, the mattresses could be updated. A clifftop retreat, this place offers both charm and convenience.”
