great stay near the sea

prime location generous portions great view friendly service
the hotel enjoys a prime location directly at the beach. breakfast included an a-la-carte menu with generous portions, i found it delicious. dinner offered a great seaside view from the large window next to our table. bartenders downstairs were cute and provided friendly service.
the pillows felt quite hard . i also noticed that the water pressure in the bathroom was quite weak, made showering a bit difficult.
