This heritage hotel is perfectly located on a stunning beach, making it a beautiful getaway for families. The rooms are spacious and generally well-kept, but we did experience some inconsistencies with room quality. Although the staff were generally great and very helpful, the dining options were priced high and not quite up to par with the five-star expectation. Overall, it's a memorable stay, but be cautious with dining costs.
