Location- right by the sea - amazing views. We visited the day before beach club closed for summer - managed a dip in the sea. So refreshing. A special memory. Staff very professional and gracious, keeping up the tradition of this grand hotel. In spite of the covid pandemic (we appreciated the precautions taken).
