Oyster Hotel Review

Sant Elmo Beach Hotel

Scene

Stone walkways, elegant restaurants, and views of cliffs and sea

Flowering bushes line stone walkways leading to rustic guest-room cottages with terra-cotta bell tiled roofs and covered porches. A big tiled outdoor space with couches and flower pots connects the sunburned-orange buildings. White fabric couches and ceiling fans decorate the lobby, and a sea-inspired mural with seahorses and seashells covers a wall behind the front desk. The elegant Sant’Elmo restaurant has white linens, latticed ceilings, and a small, circular wine bar, while the La Rotunda restaurant has panoramic views of the cliffs and ocean. White wicker couches on a veranda offer a spot for guests to relax and take in the garden views. Wooden daybeds with white cushions and umbrellas surround the big, circular outdoor pool with views of seaside cliffs.
