The view on the sea was nothing as expected, we mostly see trees, a bit of water far away that look almost like a swamp and the train track. Disappointing. The terrace/balcony was not intimate at all. I did like what is more important in a hotel room: the beds were really confortable, the shower was great and the room was clean. I would have like a table and a chaur though.
