The hotel is situated just across the road from the beautiful sand dunes by the coast, offering a lovely atmosphere and a cozy room. The service was helpful and friendly, ensuring a perfect stay, while the breakfast options were a bit limited. Overall, a comfortable and stylish stay.

The room opened out onto a communal garden, featuring a large and very comfortable bed. It was a little basic with no pictures on walls, and requesting milk by phone was a slight inconvenience.

I loved the unique room design, though it opened out onto a communal garden where I had to keep my dog on a lead. The room was small but stylish, with a comfy bed, good quality linens, and beautiful fabric on the headboard and cushions. It felt extremely comfortable, offering a very different experience from a standard hotel room.
