"The hotel has everything you need but need some love ! Our room was nice, very hot but the window opened wide so fresh air could get in- there was a stain on the wall like something from a crime scene splatter. But bed comfy, big bathroom with a great power shower. Breakfast was good, ample choice and even a milk alternative available. Close to beach and the town - just needed some love to be given to the details."

"Room with ensuite was spacious and clean with it being regularly cleaned during my stay. Staff were helpful, only issue is a lack of parking which adds further cost to the stay and sometimes you hear other guests dogs. I used the indoor pool which is good for a quick splash. Booked a massage which was okay, i think the lady found it tough as I'm 6ft, 120kg. Minutes from the beach and promenade all in all a pleasant stay."
