The Relais Cooden Beach is often chosen for special occasions, with some even holding their weddings there, highlighting the excellent food and attention to detail. Guests frequently enjoy the delicious breakfast, which includes both buffet and à la carte options, and the freshly prepared dinner menu.

dated decor inattentive server
The location was excellent, right by the beach. Our room was a decent size, however, the decor felt dated. I noticed that the carpets had several stains, and the bathroom fixtures looked worn. The service in the restaurant was quite slow. It took a long time to receive our food, and our server seemed inattentive, the slow service.
