the room was spacious and very clean. i had a sea view room and the view was fabulous. the outdoor pool temperature was a perfect 31°c (the weather was quite chilly). onsite parking was a real convenience.
i noticed that some tables were booked for outside guests, which limited dining options one evening.

Awesome stay!

clean suite comfortable bed ocean view
I enjoyed the junior suite a lot because i celebrated a special birthday. The suite provided good cleaning and a very comfortable bed. I observed a beautiful view looking at the ocean. You can lie on the bed and see the ocean. Breakfast was enjoyable.
I had to pay to park at the hotel. It was twelve pounds. I think parking should be included in the room price.

A standard stay.

friendly reception comfortable room broken corridor soft pillow
The rooms designed well, was confortable, and the cleaning was good. The reception staff were helpful and friendly. Very supportive. Bar and restaurant staff were similarly friendly and efficient. I spend some quality time.
The pillows, so soft, you might as well not have any. The corridor door was broken. It has no silencer, so it slammed every time someone walked through it. It was right outside room. I have a bad night sleep because of this.
