A warm welcome at this unique and very lovely hotel. Staff throughout our stay were friendly, professional and helpful. Room (La Rosa) was fabulous, quirky, comfortable with all necessary amenities and a view of the coastline to die for! Cocktails in the library were gorgeous as was the continental breakfast we had in the tea room. Close to town and the beach, I would stay here again and have no hesitation recommending to others.
