“I was struck by the hotel's prime spot directly across from Gwangalli Beach; rooms offer knockout views of the sea and bridge, which is a major draw. The rooms are more than comfortable - spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, even down to the Nespresso machine. Dining in the top-floor restaurant with its panoramic ocean views is a memorable experience.”
