8.4/10 Very Good! (7 reviews)

It was a beautiful area, near the beach and cable car which takes you up to the city. The only issue I had was the mattress was really overly firm for my liking, but that was my preference. The breakfast was wonderful and sitting on the veranda and looking over the water completed the visit.
