Wonderful Stay by the Sea

central locationsecure parkingcomfortable seatingenjoyable view
The hotel's location is fantastic. It is close to shops, cafes, and restaurants. I found the area very quiet during the evening hours. The parking area felt secure (something I always appreciate).
I noticed the room had few expected amenities for a four-star hotel such as a fridge.
Rooms
9/10
My room featured a lovely sea view, a comfortable bed, and a modern bathroom (the rainfall shower was particularly nice). The room was also equipped with tea and coffee making facilities and complimentary Wi-Fi. I found everything clean and well kept.
Service
9/10
The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay, from check-in to check-out. I especially appreciated Dan, the cocktail waiter in the bar, who was both skilled and attentive. The bar service was excellent (I recommend the Zombie cocktail!).
Location
