“In my opinion, what sets it apart is the clifftop location, granting direct access to the beaches and offering panoramic ocean views. The saltwater pool surrounded by lush gardens provides a unique setting, while the falconer service adds a quirky touch, deterring seagulls. I also appreciated the family-friendly environment, complete with a children's club and diverse dining options.”

excellent stay near the beach
fine viewclose locationgood breakfastcold pool
i had a twin room sea view. the view from the balcony was fine (really!). the location is close to several beaches. the breakfast omelette station was good. i received a bottle of wine, and i enjoyed it during sunset.
the indoor pool was cold. the manager mentioned they are working to improve this with solar panels. prices at the bar and restaurant seemed steep.
Facilities

Dining

breakfast was plentiful with many choices (especially the pancakes!). the buffet included sweet and savory options. the hotel bar is available, but i found it a bit pricey.
