nice seaside stay

the room overlooked the beach directly from every angle. i found local art, a radio, and a record player with records from a nearby shop inside. the pantry, a great touch, featured cute staff and great recommendations. there was attention to detail in the rooms..
breakfast was not great. for the price, i felt it was a rip off. the freshly squeezed orange juice was not actually fresh.
