The hotel is perfectly located on the seafront, offering amazing views and easy access to all the attractions. The rooms are comfortable and come with excellent facilities, but having a hot tub only in a nearby complex is a bit inconvenient. The service was impeccable, with arrangements made to ensure a special stay. However, the price for some services was a touch high.
