Perfect Holiday Location

The location is perfect, out of the city but still close enough to get to all the attractions by Uber. We particularly liked the feeling of being safe and able to walk along the beach.

Amazing view

The big selling point of the hotel is the view, which is incredible. Aside from that, the room was huge and very tastefully decorated, only let down by a dated bathroom, which was the only real weakness of the stay as a whole. Service and atmosphere also of a really high standard.
