fantastic stay

wide rangecomfy pillows
The breakfast had a wide range of choices. comfy pillows were provided. it was really a good start to the day, though i missed some local pastries. The available options were delicious. the location was excellent, the beach was easily accessible. everything was nearby, and i enjoyed the convenience.
the pricing structure for food could be improved, as the tapas felt expensive! i would have liked a happy hour, similar to other locations.
