Really good Stay, New Makeover and Amazing Food!

new bathroomcomfortable bedvegan menu
I've stayed here before and I always enjoy it. We arrived and the staff gave us a warm welcome. Our room had a recent makeover and it looked superb! The new bathroom had a really nice shower and the room's decor was amazing (I was really impressed). The bed was so comfy, we slept great! We had dinner at the new garden restaurant. It was a very nice setting. The food was great, with a lovely vegan menu , made my wife so happy. The beach is just a short walk away, so we took a lovely stroll. In the morning, we had breakfast. It was amazing, as always!
