This place has so much history and has been run by the same family for years. Sits right next to a 18 hole golf course with amazing views, and offers three great beaches.
What I wish I
could change:
For me, I like action in the evenings. This hotel is very laid back, but that is what it is famous for.
Why YOU should
go:
If you like a traditional hotel, with great friendly service, and something to do for every member of the family, this will be perfect. A rental car is definitely worth the investment. Sunsets from the beach are amazing. Try the spa.
