We loved the ocean view from our room, it was a lovely stopover for the night in a great location with nearby takeaways etc. Everything seemed great with the room - lots of space and an unexpected spa bath being a lovely surprise! However I woke up in the morning to 21 bites all over my back which weren’t there the night before so that put a bit of a downer on the stay wondering what was in the bed with us! Otherwise everything else was lovely.
