I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is stunning and offers great views, the rooms left a lot to be desired with their small size and lack of adequate furniture. The service from the staff was remarkable, as they were genuinely friendly and attentive, but the dining options were quite limited. Still, if you're looking for a charming spot with beautiful scenery, it might be worth considering.

The hotel had some great perks like wonderful staff and amazing sea views from our executive suite. However, I did find the price a bit high for what we received, particularly given the cost to upgrade our room. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with good location and comfortable amenities, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
