Fantastic Sea View Room!

clean room beautiful view comfortable bed attentive staff
The room was clean and came with a beautiful sea view. It was the perfect way to wake up each morning! The bed was a King Size, and I found it very comfortable. I also appreciated the staff. They were attentive and cute. I really think they are committed to making guests feel at home.
The accessible sockets for phone chargers were a bit limited.
