The hotel has a stunning location right on the cliff with beautiful views of the waves, perfect for unwinding. However, the rooms were not very comfortable, as they had a damp smell and seemed unclean with some insect issues. The service was friendly but inexperienced, which made some aspects of the stay less enjoyable. Overall, it has potential, but it could definitely use some improvements.
