Really good Stay with Stellar Service

The breakfast selection included fresh fruit salad, pastries, and a cooked breakfast. The staff members consistently were very good too ensure my comfort. The location is perfect, right opposite the sea and the cliff walk. Daily happy hour in the comfortable lounge was a lovely touch.
The room I stayed in initially overlooked a side wall and rusty AC units.
