    • Comfy bed and great location. Bad room view

    Cons -

    • Very young staff texted me pertinent information about entering the hotel that we required for entry while I was driving had they phoned instead they would have saved us 45 minutes of total confusion and stress trying seeing if they had a room for us
    • It was dirty and there was glass on the floor that wasn’t cleaned up before we checked in.
    • I booked a room with a patio view from the pictures and it was for a wedding gift, it was on the ground floor with no view and really dark

    We didn’t have breakfast - we did see some fruit and cakes on the table near reception but I don’t know if we could have it or it had to be paid for.

    We were on the ground level and the room was across from a bar which was extremely noisy at night

    8JacquiPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Great location with convenience of car parking. Complementary coffee, pastries and fruit not mentioned and yet great for a quick breakfast.

    10RobertPosted on: 1-21-2026

    Location room was beautiful unfortunately weather meant we could not enjoy the balconies.

    Everything was great

    9ColinPosted on: 1-16-2026

    Very comfortable and great location. Friendly staff.

    Small point but internet was very flaky. Our devices reported too many users.

    10LouisePosted on: 1-16-2026

    Everything from the beautiful room, location, fresh muffins in the morning and lots of beach equipment free to use

    9DavidPosted on: 1-14-2026

    Location was excellent and had exceptional staff. Room was brilliant.

    Would have like pool. Only issue and was very minor.

    9NatalyPosted on: 1-13-2026

    The room space and facilities. Large room, large bathroom and plenty of bed space. We were pleasantly surprised. The staff were very lovely and helpful.

    Nothing. It’d be 5 stars if it had a pool.

    10AlessandraPosted on: 12-19-2025

    Excellent location, large rooms (and clean!), drying rack for clothes and could rent beach gear (towels/chairs) which came in handy!

    10RobertPosted on: 12-18-2025

    A fantastic room, bowled over by the bathroom. Excellent staff and great location. Perfect choice for us.

    10MelissaPosted on: 12-14-2025

    Convenient location, most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Large well-appointed room. Nice light complimentary breakfast.

    9KristinaPosted on: 12-6-2025

    well located, light bright and spacious room close tot the beach

    7AnitaPosted on: 11-26-2025

    Location great, very near the main beach and easy to walk to the shops and cafes but also quiet as not on the main road. Spacious room. Comfy large bed. Great shower. Air con very effective.

    Furniture was dated - I needed to work at the desk briefly and the chair and desk were old, chair not comfy and a bit of a dated feel to the main room.

    9SoniaPosted on: 11-17-2025

    Couldn’t fault it. The breakfast was perfect, maybe someYogurt. The beds were so comfortable! The staff were so friendly

    The exterior could do with a paint

    9CorinnePosted on: 11-14-2025

    Can’t get any closer to the beach. So central for town visits, even the kids walked themselves into town and back. Endless supply of beach towels and beautiful helpful staff. Boogie boards for the kids. Clean room every day.

    Ours might have been an older room but dated decor.

    Location great and very nice staff

    System didn’t make us feel in a hotel . Check our time too early

    Good location (easy walk to beaches and restaurants), good parking facilities, nice room, helpful staff.

    Check-in closes at 7pm and then you have to call security. Trying to get in to the parking garage is a pain because the key point is below the level of a car window. Using elevators after hours requires a physical key in a keyhole. Very tight parking area. Breakfast was late one day and is generally pretty weak (basic pastries and coffee).
