My Saint Crispin Cottage was located right on the beach. The proximity to the pool and restaurant was wonderful. I enjoyed every meal at the restaurant as the food tasted excellent. The resort has an eco-friendly layout that allowed me to feel immersed in nature.

The lack of wifi access was a bit inconvenient. I would have liked the option to connect, even if only for a short time. This feature would significantly improve the experience.
