Reviews and Ratings
The location was superb for accessing the beach and town, though some treatment bookings were unavailable. Dining had a good variety but lacked in quality at times.
The hotel had tiny rooms that were quite small and hard to move around in, but were comfy enough. They weren't particularly clean. The service was fantastic, with helpful and attentive staff. The location was exceptional, right opposite the beach and a short walk into town. The dining experience was lovely with a variety of food options. The facilities were also equally amazing.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the location was superb, just across from the beach and within walking distance of the town and harbor. However, the room I stayed in was rather small and separate from the main building, making it inconvenient. I also struggled to find time to enjoy the pool as it closed early due to my busy daytime excursions.
The hotel was warm despite the radiator being turned off, leading to some noise from the room above. The service was friendly overall, with just one abrupt staff member noted. The location was lovely, offering a pleasant ambience and easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience was excellent, with a good variety of well-prepared food. However, the ongoing construction site obstructed the sea view, impacting the overall atmosphere.
The hotel had both positives and negatives. While the rooms were functional despite being a bit small and noisy due to external disturbances, they could have been cleaner. The friendly service staff displayed great hospitality, although there were instances of poor service and attitudes. The location was stunning, near the beach and town. The dining experience offered a good selection but had issues with freshness and speed. Despite some downsides, the hotel managed to impress with its facilities.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with excellent facilities, though they are a bit small with limited wardrobe space. The service is very friendly and vibrant, but a forgetful breakfast order slightly marred the experience. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, despite ongoing building work nearby. The dining experience could be improved, especially considering the high price point. Overall, a comfortable stay with some minor drawbacks.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the bright side, it was fabulous for watching the rugby, and the staff were brilliant with our three tired children. However, the room I got was a letdown with only a single bed, although listed as a double, and the view was disappointing due to an extractor vent blocking the scenery.
