This hotel is absolutely amazing! It’s so clean and beautiful. The staff are incredibly helpful and friendly, always going the extra mile. For example, when we checked out early, they prepared croissants to take away. We also forgot our water bottle on reception when leaving, but one of the staff members ran it to us in a car park! The restaurant on site is fabulous. The food is really good, and the atmosphere is nice. The views are breathtaking. There’s also a sauna, which is a nice touch. The Black Beach Walk is also scenic.
