Guest Ratings & Reviews
I was a bit let down by the room given compared to what I booked but the view of the sea from the balcony was nice. Service had its ups and downs, with some issues in the kitchen, but staff like Aaron really saved the day. The location was excellent for beach access and town exploration. The dining experience left much to be desired despite a variety of choices. Overall, a mix of highs and lows but still a pleasant stay.
The hotel provided a fantastic break for us all with accommodating and kind staff, great autism-friendly features, and lovely sea views from the spacious and well-equipped rooms. The only downside was the outdated curtains that needed replacing.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was comfy and clean, although the bathroom could use some updating. I didn't opt for breakfast during my stay. The location was excellent, near the beach with no parking hassle. The service was a bit confusing at times but the staff were friendly overall.
