Amazing seaside location, friendly staff, beautiful pool, rocky coast—a perfect oceanfront getaway!
Pros:

Each room has a wall of glass that gives you big views of the ocean and your own patio or balcony. The staff was all so nice. The pool is big and spotless, the hot-tub cozy, and there's tons of beautiful outdoor space to lounge. My son loved the outdoor chess set with chessmen almost as big as his body! Want to clamber on the rocks all day by the sea waves?: just cross the road. Nice wood benches there too. This whole curve of coast is lovely. No ugly development in sight from here. The breakfast room is also great: walls of glass, sweeping sea view.

Cons:

We loved our days here. The breakfast is a standard hotel breakfast - nice variety but no hot foods like eggs or sausage.

Romantic getaway across from the breath-taking ocean.
Pros:

The location was perfect. Being directly across from the ocean was just breath-taking. The patio was very large with a couch and 2 chair with a coffee table. Rooms are spacious and spotless. Robes in the closet very cozy!

Cons:

I think the breakfast could have been stocked up with more. We got there at 10 and there was not much left to have a variety of options to eat. The coffee was good. It would have been nice to be able to try different things.
