“The seafront position truly shines, especially from rooms overlooking the water; the staff's attentiveness, particularly Logan and Anthony, consistently elevates the experience, making even a casual brunch feel specially managed. Generous, freshly prepared meals served with genuine warmth are a notable advantage, a welcome balance to the property's older charm.
