The hotel has a stunning sea view and spacious rooms, but the service can be hit or miss. The location is unbeatable right on the beach, though lacking some atmosphere. Dining is a mixed experience with freshly cooked options yet sometimes short-staffed.

The location is amazing with beautiful views over the sea, right on the beach, and accessed through a full-length door onto a balcony. However, it lacks some finer points in ambiance and closes early at 10pm.
