Excellent Seaside Stay

The staff were very helpful and accommodating throughout my visit. My room came equipped with binoculars, a nice touch for enjoying the sea views. I found the provided breakfast to be freshly cooked, and it offered plenty of choices. The location is really good, providing immediate access to the sea.
The room I stayed in felt a bit small.

cramped roomintense light
The room i occupied felt quite cramped for a sea view accommodation. I expected more space. a persistent green light above the door, a fire safety feature, illuminated the room intensely during the night. this light made it difficult to sleep, and despite my request, the staff informed me nothing could be done about it. It was a legal requirement. i found this unacceptable, since it severely impacted my rest.
