The breakfast had a very good selection including both English and continental options. The hotel's location was quite convenient as it was a short walk to the pier. My room had two balconies and a big bed providing plenty of space. The views were good, giving a relaxing atmosphere.
The suite I had booked was unavailable upon arrival due to a leak. This required a temporary relocation.
