A lovely little spot tucked away in a corner with a surprisingly beautiful view especially at night. We stayed one night for a flight the next day. The hot tub on our terrace was fabulous and the room was large and comfortable. The hotel, although small was beautifully decorated and very clean and the staff was very helpful. They even carried our luggage upstairs for us.
