This hotel offers rooms with lovely sea views and a small balcony, though the window is quite small. The service was excellent, with polite staff offering a range of services like room service and dry cleaning. The location directly on the seafront with a large car park at the rear is very convenient. The dining experience was delightful, especially with unlimited prosecco. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay by the beach.
