Yes, it does still exist! From both the front terrace and the roof terrace, you have views straight out over the lagoon and to the sea beyond. The foreshore is on your doorstep, where the boats swing on their anchors, the locals dig for bait and clams, and the wading birds come and go all to the rhythm of the ebb and flow of the tide. With a great sea food restaurant just a minute's walk away and the fresh sea air in your lungs, you just won't want to go home.
