The location of the hotel is excellent, just next to the ocean. Unfortunately, the overall experience was impacted by noise and a lack of comfort.
The rooms are poorly insulated, and we were often disturbed by other guests who were awake at all hours. We slept very little during our stay, as we kept waking up throughout the night. Although I had requested a room on the top floor when booking nine months in advance, we were informed just a week before arrival that this could not be guaranteed. We ended up in a room on the lowest floor and could hear every single step from the guests above.
The mattresses were uncomfortably hard. We requested a mattress topper twice, but were only provided with a thin mattress protector, which did not solve the problem.
While the hotel markets itself as a relaxing “slow life” retreat, it seems to cater mainly to families with small children, which made the atmosphere more lively than peaceful.
