The hotel is set in a beautiful location above the almost private beach and offers stunning views. The rooms are spacious and modern but had some issues with the hot shower. The service was exceptional, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. However, there were power cuts during our stay. The dining experience was decent but not overly exciting. The facilities were satisfactory overall.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms with modern decor, although some maintenance is needed for small things. Check-in was delayed until 2 pm, but the room itself was spacious and comfortable. The service was exceptional, with staff going out of their way to accommodate guests' needs. The location, while a bit worn out from tourist activities, still offers breathtaking views of the beach and sea. Dining options, though needing improvement, provided satisfactory meals. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a pleasant stay overall.

The dining experience could be improved as the breakfast options felt limited. However, the smoked salmon was a standout. Some meals can be obtained from a BBQ place or a little co-op stand targeting day tourists.
