The position above the atlantic ocean was marvelous, with two open-air pool areas beckoning us. i adored watching children play in the pool from the balcony. Their laughter was a melody to my heart. breakfast displayed a generous choice. the hotel offered a marina to the left and the lido area to the right, both within a short, romantic stroll.
the hotel is aging, and i noticed that the towels seemed slightly worn.
