The hotel is wonderfully located on the seafront with great service from the staff. The rooms are modern and spacious, but toiletries storage is lacking. The dining offers fresh eggs from their own hens, though the hot plates could improve. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.

The service is top-notch, with personal recommendations from high-management waiters. The dining experience is delightful, serving fresh fruits and eggs from the Woodland hens.
