Room was excellent with a wonderful view of the sea. Balcony was spacious and relaxing. Room had everything we needed for our two night stay. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Parking is limited on premise but also available right across the street. We luckily got a spot at the hotel. Would highly recommend this accommodation - especially to book the penthouse suite.
