We stayed at this hotel only for one night and we were disappointed
Pros:

The views are beautiful,the sea is wonderful, but we were very disappointed with the hotel.

Cons:

When we arrived the rooms were not ready, we had no towels in our room. The next morning it turned out that the chef was sick and everyone was left without breakfast. We had to waste time looking to get breakfast else where.
