"The hotel is really beautiful, set right on the ocean. Our room had an amazing view over the sea. The beach is right next door. We were there right at the end of the season, so I think some of the amenities like water sports and spa had ended. We ate at the restaurant twice and the food was really tasty. The mussels came in this amazing sauce that I had not tasted before! The breakfast was really nice too. The staff were really friendly and accommodating throughout our stay. I would return!"
