The hotel is located in a country that has four seasons. Sometimes the season difference is quite extreme, especially when it comes winter, coupled with the sea breeze that is too tight.

In addition, it’s important to think the tides to find out what percentage of land that lost at high tide. Including, the impact of global warming to find out how many yards the sea level will rise. This hotel has two different parts of the coast. The beach that at the top has the cliff and nice sand that the position is very sloping.
