The location provided easy access to the beach! I walked there easily. My room had robes and slippers. They added extra comfort to my stay.
The hotel lacked EV charging. This made things slightly inconvenient!

The bed was comfortable. (I had a great night's sleep.) The spa was really good. The steam room and pool provided relaxation. I also enjoyed the amazing sea views.
The variety at the continental breakfast was limited, requiring extra payment for a full English breakfast.
