Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room I stayed in felt a bit uncomfortable due to the high temperature and lack of interest from the front desk when I raised the issue. The room was touted as 'Delux' with a garden view but had only one very small window, making it feel a bit cramped. The price was over £200 in May.
The hotel had mixed experiences - the rooms were spacious and comfortable, but there was some disappointment with the service and dining. The location offered easy access to the town center and the beach. The facilities were commendable, but there were some minor setbacks.
The hotel is situated in a very central location, just a short walk from the beach and pier, which was exactly what I was looking for. The rooms were lovely and modern, although slightly smaller than expected. The service felt like a 5-star experience with accommodating staff who responded well to requests. Dining was okay, with freshly cooked meals, but some improvements can be made. Overall, a convenient stay with a great location.
