    breathtaking views
    slow service

    Our stay was delightful, especially with the breathtaking

    views from our room. The breakfast was lovely, but there were times the service felt a bit slow. Still, the location by the beach made it worthwhile.

    I adored the unique cave setting of The Grotto, which provided stunning views of the sea. The accessibility via the lift made it convenient for me, and I truly enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the restaurant.

    great location but quirky access may not suit everyone

    The access via a lift adds a unique charm to the stay, creating a memorable experience. The food served in the restaurant was genuinely excellent and came at a reasonable price.

    Quirky access may not suit everyone.

    comfy bed
    great views
    noisy ventilation
    cold room

    The room we had was a bit of a rollercoaster! Started with issues like a non-working TV and cold rooms, but Sonya from the staff was super helpful and finally got us into a comfy room with great views. But the noise from the ventilation was a bit annoying. we had it sorted by the end with a decent place to relax. The bed was actually quite comfy, at least.

    Awesome beach vibes!

    We booked a double room with sea views and it was so nice! The beach right there is amazing for exploring. The room was comfy, but the shower could've been better, felt sorta weak. We did dinner there, and the lobster was delish but waited pretty long for it. Bar area was chill too!

    Unique cave experience with stunning views

    I recently spent a night here in a delightful Superior Double Room, enjoying the fantastic views of the North Sea. The unique cave setting is truly special, and the staff were incredibly accommodating, especially when we had some minor issues with our room. The only downside was the lack of WiFi and patchy TV reception, but the beauty of the location made up for it.

    The staff really went all out to fix our TV and move us to a cozy room with stunning views. There’s a lovely spa and a peaceful garden to unwind in. The mattress could use a topper, but the breathtaking scenery and delicious food definitely steal the show! 😊
