Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a stunning location right on the beach, offering breathtaking views of the sea. The rooms are well-furnished but on the smaller side, and the lack of privacy in the bathrooms might be an issue for some. The dining experience was excellent but a bit pricy. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay, especially if you appreciate a great view and attentive staff.
The hotel is perfectly located right by the beach with gorgeous views of the dunes. The rooms are comfortable, but a bit small, with some quirks like the shower opening directly into the bedroom. The staff was professional and accommodating, making my stay pleasant. However, I found the dining options pricey for what they offered, and the closure of the restaurant during my visit was disappointing.

The staff was notably friendly and attentive, which really enhanced my stay. However, the dining options were quite pricey for the limited selection, and I felt that the overall value for money could be better.
