Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. It was a besutiful place, we stayed in a little house wich was part of the B&B and had a delicious chinese breakfast in the morning. The view from the house werefantastic. There were many seals in the bay and we saw a kolibri, pelikans and birds of pray. There is a little beach were you can walk and take a swim. The water was very old but we liked it because there were a lot of curious seals around us looking at us.
