The hotel is set on a cliff top, very near the lift down to the beach. It's a wonderful spot to relax with a glass of wine, offering fantastic views over the sea. The rooms are cozy and clean, but the dining experience could use some improvement. The location is superb for beach access and exploring the local area.
