    Value for money

The hotel was good with gorgeous rooms and I appreciated respectful staff. The restaurant was amazing and served warm food. Excellent view of seaside. They made my stay truly memorable. Just walking distance from the nice beach. Plus, it was about 10 minutes' drive to water wall. The service was brilliant here. Moreover, I was offered free Wi-Fi in all rooms, which allowed me to work from the venue.

Particularly nice views, modern decor of the room, great location.

Nice place, we felt safe!
