The breakfast was great. The service was fine. We are returning guests and will return again. Excellent location. The property is in transition, but it wasn't really a problem. The plumbing is a little strange, but not awful. The bed was comfortable. We enjoyed the view from our window of the sea.

They had a restaurant close to the sea and their own beach. The only issue was that the indoor pool was not working which could be good for winter period.
