amazing sea view
sea viewarray of foodswide terraceinsufficient car park
I was grateful for the room upgrade, resulting in a sea view. the scenery included the headland and the bay, it really enhanced the trip. i enjoyed breakfast on the terrace. I found the food delicious, and it featured a diverse array of choices.
unfortunately, the car park seemed insufficient. it had to accommodate hotel guests, restaurant diners, and wedding attendees. this meant parking on a residential road uphill, it was inconvenient when unloading the car.

The room was spacious. It also included a bath inside the bathroom. the bed was super comfy. It guaranteed a restful sleep. i found flowers in bloom. It added to a picturesque scene.
