“What stands out is the beachfront location itself, offering immediate access to the surf and sand; the sound of the waves seems to permeate everything. I imagine starting the day watching surfers from a private balcony would set a relaxed tone. It seems the kind of place where a well-managed tour makes a real difference, and the staff are commended for their above-and-beyond service.”
