Really good beachside stay

spacious layout powerful shower attentive staff cooked breakfast

The room had a spacious layout. I appreciated the powerful shower in the bathroom. The restaurant staff were attentive and quick to address any requests. Breakfast included good options. The cooked breakfast was definitely a highlight.

The tv volume was preset at a level too low, subtitles were needed to understand what the tv was saying.

The room had double door french windows that opened directly onto the beach. The smart tv offered many viewing options (and was simple to use). The jacuzzi bath provided a relaxing experience with jets that were powerful.

Superb coastal stay

quiet environment ocean sound jet bath big bed

I found the room clean, offering a quiet environment. Waking up to the sound of the ocean WAS amazing. Although the spa was closed, the bath with jets provided relaxation. The bed was a big size and very comfortable.

I noticed the shower controls were difficult to adjust, and getting the water temperature to cool down was tricky. The rainfall shower worked well, however.
