"Their privately managed artificial beach and bar across the street from the property is a major plus although it leans towards fanciness at the expense of quality."

Waterfront Bliss and Gentle Breezes

special locationseaside deckrich breakfastwarm staff

My heart fluttered upon arrival. The location is special with the sea so very close. I admired the seaside deck with its quaint bar, and it seemed like the perfect spot for tender moments. Breakfasts felt rich and abundant, a sweet start to each day with fresh local ingredients. The staff greeted me with such warmth. Their kindness.

I must confess that the gym equipment seemed a touch dated. Some treadmills did show signs of wear.
