This hotel is situated in a beautiful area with a fantastic view of the bay, just steps away from the shoreline. I found the rooms to be spacious and comfortable, and the friendly staff made my stay even better. However, the breakfast options were quite limited, which was a bit of a letdown. The overall value for money is decent, but it would be great if the dining options were more varied.
