“This clifftop hotel delivers striking ocean views from many vantage points, pairing them with a saltwater pool and a family-friendly environment; I particularly like the falconer service aimed at keeping seagulls away from the pool area. The wellness center is a genuine highlight, and the beach is directly accessible. In my opinion, it's a solid choice for those seeking relaxation.”

My room was a Twin Room Sea View and I was pleased with its cleanliness. The hotel staff were very helpful . I enjoyed the convenient location near the places I wanted to visit. The sea views from my room were lovely. The breakfast had wide range of choices, I found it tasty.
I noticed cracks in the wall and the frame of one painting looked broken. It was a very minor distraction though.
