The location was amazing, right next to the beach. Our room featured luxury touches like White Company toiletries, I found a Dyson hairdryer and a coffee machine. Fresh flowers were a beautiful addition in the room. The bed was super comfy.
Breakfast started a little late for my schedule though they did offer me items to take with me, which I appreciated.
