Really good stay, highly recommended!

quiet street vegan cookies restful nights good juice

The hotel's location suited me. It was on a quiet street within walking distance to the town center. I appreciated the proximity to the beach. The provided vegan cookies in my room were a nice touch. The bed ensured restful nights . The restaurant's atmosphere created a cute experience. Staff members were very helpful and accommodating, and they enhanced the overall quality of my stay. Breakfast offered much choice. The fresh juice had a good quality, as well.

The gardens could use minor improvements, such as tidying and upgrading the seating.

I felt a little let down by the breakfast. the buffet had only basic options. vegan choices were very limited. If you dislike bread or eggs, you're left with few alternatives. also, i had expected better service for the price i paid. attention to detail seemed lacking overall.
