Lovely hotel in a lovely little coastal town. It has everything you expect from a boutique hotel: customer orientation, attention to details, cozy atmosphere... The location is great, the building is looking good. You basically have the beach near you. Also the pier is even closer.

Everything was great. The only thing I would recommend is that the breakfast food area be expanded. It is very small and does not accommodate enough people.
