the superior family room was spacious. it included a separate seating area with comfortable sofas. the bathroom featured two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. fresh milk was provided in the in-room fridge. this was perfect for tea and coffee.
i noticed limited dairy-free options on the dinner menu. this made choosing a suitable meal slightly difficult. i hope they expand this selection in the future.

the hotel is near the coast, a quick walk leads to sandy beaches. coastal walking paths are accessible directly from the hotel's entrance. the proximity to the village center made it easy to explore shops and local attractions.

My room was unfortunately very noisy. It was near what seemed to be an industrial kitchen extraction unit. the noise continued until late at night and started again early in the morning. I also heard a refrigerator clicking on and off throughout the night! it was not a restful experience.
