"Unbeatable beach view from my room leaving me feeling more relaxed than I have in years. The ideal place to decompress. Listening to the seagulls, watching people at the waters edge, or fishing from the rocks. I couldn’t have asked for a better room-beautiful, clean and quiet with a lovely peaceful balcony until the second night… when there was a very noisy wedding party. They were having a great time, and it was lovely to see the beautiful bride in her wedding dress having pictures taken down on the rocks at the waters edge. All staff were pleasant and very helpful without being intrusive, and Anthony was delightful. I will return annually with company to share the experience. Highly recommend."
