My stay at the hotel was delightful. The room was exceptional, with thoughtful amenities for my furry friend, though it could have been more ventilated. The service was outstanding, ensuring a comfortable and relaxing stay. The location overlooking the sea marshes was simply superb and serene, although a bit chilly in the conservatory. The dining experience was excellent with a great selection to cater to all needs. Overall, a wonderful experience with a few minor nuances.
