United KingdomRoom was clean with a nice ocean view. Breakfast was excellent. No real beach but a lift take you to the sea where you have a direct access to the ocean. The staff was fully focussed on all our requests. The must is the fact they have the Gallo d’Oro a 2 stars Michelin restaurant in the hotel, were we had a 4 hours delicious dinner.
