The hotel is in a prime spot with lovely views. The staff were excellent and even held my bag for 2 days whilst hiking. They couldn't do enough for us ans even lent us beach towels. The rooms are very clean and the beds extremely comfy. It was the best 2 night's sleep we had all holiday as we were moving around a lot.

“Perfect location with good daily care.”
Perfect location with stunning views. Our particular room had 3 balconies with lovely morning light and beautiful sunsets. Daily cleaning staff were both friendly and of exceptionally high standard. Well maintained that isn’t the norm elsewhere.

A lovely room overlooking the water. Very peaceful and relaxing. Clean and comfortable. Enjoyed sitting on the balcony and enjoying the view. The town is calm with lots of options for food, and is well located to reach nearby beaches.
