Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Everything. The unusual setting, the weird and wonderful underground bar and restaurant the magnificent view. The crashing sound of the waves on the beach. The staff come up to the car to greet you take you to read the rules and regulations of being underground. The history and then the room. We decided against the bedroom in the cavern. Too haunted and scary for me, so chose a lovely bright room further up the cliff. The staff were all young and exceptionally nice. Particularly Anna. The whole experience was unforgettable and the food outstanding.
Negative: Nothing....well maybe being so far underground !
Summary: Strange spooky scary but wonderful!
