Having a sea view. The only down side was having to go outside to get to the bar or dining room. Maybe ok in summer but not in pouring rain in winter .

Carole United Kingdom

A nice well appointed room and nice that a restaurant is right downstairs. The bed was comfortable and room to stretch out. Its the first shower that has a place to put your shampoo and soap etc. A must stay opportunity.
