The hotel's location is fantastic. It sits right on the beach. I found it very easy to swim in the sea. The ferry to town leaves from next door to the hotel! There's also a kayak rental service available nearby.

The bar area looks nice. It seems like a good place for a relaxed drink. A terrace offers an option for enjoying meals outdoors! The sea views are visible from many areas, which makes dining quite special.
