Is this correct and natural?

Jane stepped out onto the hotel's balcony. Leaning over the glass railing, she gazed at the scenery, taking it in. Nestled among verdant mountains was a gentle Mediterranean cove, sparkling in the late spring sun. The turquoise waters met the cloudless sky at the horizon. She could hear faint sounds of music drifting from a beach party, mingled with the cheerful murmur from several beachgoers. A breeze blew in her direction, bringing the salty scent of the sea. Ibiza was more pleasant than she expected.

See above. "Gentle cove" doesn't work.
