Great location right next to the beach. The swimming pool area is fantastic and the staff were friendly. The only downside was that the room was making little electrical sounds during the night which was disturbing for a light sleeper.

I stayed at this property for 3 days.I liked that the beach was within walking distance from the hotel. I enjoyed the cafe con leche from the bar. The staff was helpful...but not very welcoming. The pool area was nice especially the two jacuzzis upstairs however the timer on them was malfunctioning.

A wonderful stay overall. The hotel was spotless, with good amenities, delicious food, and welcoming staff. The property was well-maintained and pleasantly quiet, especially considering its location right in the middle of the busy coastline and restaurants — perfect for a relaxing getaway. Good value for the money paid.

Great stay for R&R

It was a great 3 night stay, the facilities were great, staff friendly and for a couple the hotel had everything we would need or want. Only downer for us was the room location. Directly above the main entrance so heard everyone coming and going very clearly, facing a main road with buses and Lorrie’s going up and down and internally opposite the lift and stairs so heard everyone on our floor coming and going. We would absolutely visit again but request a different room location if possible.

Lovely small hotel

Great small hotel, close to bars, beach and town centre. Heated outdoor pool and hot tubs were lovely, always a spare sun bed available and the cocktails were fab ! The roof top bar was closed during our stay but we were not told this on check in.
