The room was airy with two separate sliding doors giving access to the garden and decks with tables and chairs for dining outdoors. The room got the morning sun. The bathroom was spacious, and two glass walls of the shower opened right up. The breakfast was laid out for the guests from 8 to 9am, and included mostly breads and sugary things and dairy, which is typical for European breakfasts. I don't eat sugar or dairy, but managed to find enough: boiled eggs, fresh fruit and cold cuts.

Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
