Absolutely loved our room with ocean front view. The little touched of having robes and blankets made it all the more special. The breakfast pastries were delicious too!

It was a great stay. Near to the beach and the village. We could leave our car in the parking lot all the time. The roof terrace is just wonderful and the rooms have a unique interior and are furnished with a lot of love. They even have beach chairs and beach umbrellas to take to the beach. It was all perfect. We highly recommend it and would have loved to stay longer.

The location is great, right on the beach. The hotel is very clean and the staff were also very nice. I would come here again. Breakfast was very good. The only thing I was missing at breakfast was pickles or sliced cheese but it may be that it is unusual in America. (ps. I am from Germany)
