stylish getaway, excellent dining
high standard dishes good sliding doors warm water
The food was delicious. dinner in the restaurant offered high standard dishes and prompt service. The team worked hard to. our beautiful king room had very good sliding doors to the bathroom. the room also had a small, private garden. but the garden could use a small table. we loved the beach, the sand dunes, and the warm water

high price service charge
The staff were friendly and polite. I found that acceptable.
The drinks were pricey. A single gin and tonic cost over £16. i also disliked the added service charge. it felt mercenary charging £5 for filtered water when tap water was freely available at the bar.

dim lighting difficult climb
the hotel seemed promising, but some aspects fell short. i found the lighting in the room too dim, especially for reading or working. it made it hard to relax fully. also, the promised beach access involved a difficult climb over sand dunes, which wasn't ideal.. particularly after a long day.
