“I found it pleasantly surprising that this resort is only a short walk from the pier, yet it feels like a secluded retreat. The gardens are particularly well-maintained, lending a tranquil air to the entire place. It seems ideal for unwinding, enhanced by great pizzas, cheap beer and friendly, helpful staff.”
