“With its beachfront location and eco-friendly architectural design, the hotel struck me as a delightful option for couples or families; it's the personalized service and attention to detail that likely set this place apart. I imagine the on-site farm supplying fresh ingredients elevates the dining experience; plus, you're only steps from the beach and close to the town's historical attractions. It seems like a relaxing escape.”
