“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.”
