hard pastry unpleasant staff attitude
The breakfast pastries was too hard. Mine was completely overcooked. I also found the staff to have an unpleasant attitude when I asked for something. I did not sleep well because of noise from other guests at night.

charming stay

early check-in huge room
The manager allowed us to check in early! i could change before the wedding ceremony. The receptionist swapped our breakfast for brunch, because she knew we might miss it. Our room was huge, it was great to have so much space.
The hotel did not record my dinner reservation. I booked a table during the week but it was not there. The limited menu had very little choice.

The breakfast room offered a fine view of the beach! i enjoyed the bar food. The staff resolved any query instantly and provided a cute atmosphere, so my dining experiences were very satisfying.
