The hotel boasts an enviable location right by the seafront with beautiful views. My room was reasonably spacious and had lovely quality toiletries, which I appreciated. However, the dining experience left much to be desired; breakfast could use a serious upgrade in both quality and variety. While the staff was friendly, the lack of timely service during breakfast was frustrating.
