I loved the stylish, individual rooms. A powerful rain shower and a huge bed were highlights! The homemade granola at breakfast was the best I've ever tasted. (Seriously, I need that recipe!) The staff was friendly.
Tea and coffee facilities were in the corridor, not directly in my room.

the staff offered a warm welcome. check-in was smooth. my superior queen room featured nice amenities. the bed ensured restful sleep. i found the cleanliness admirable. the hotel's proximity to the beach made it easy to explore. breakfast had fresh options. i appreciated the community feel.
i noticed that tea and coffee facilities are located in the corridor, not inside the room. i didn't receive any information about discounts in the shop. it would have been helpful to know this . this is my only slight disappointment.
