Four nights celebrating wedding anniversary. Room 101 was ideal. Very private at front of hotel, ground floor and sounds of the ocean plus sea breeezes. Lovely al a carte breakfast with good choices plus every type of coffee you could ask for. Little touches like daily sorbet at the pool, cold face towels and end of day meet and greet with other guests good chance to swap stories and tips on what to do. Staff all great, very professional and engaging.
