This hotel offers stunning views and has great highlights such as the personalized breakfast service and friendly staff. While the location next to the beach is fantastic, some rooms feel a bit tired and could use a refresh. The dining experience was enjoyable yet had a few pricing peculiarities. Overall, it's a lovely place for a relaxing getaway but not without a few areas for improvement.
