Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with a beautiful sea view, but the pricing may seem a bit high. The service is exceptional, especially for guests with special needs or specific requests like mushrooms for breakfast. The location is ideal for exploring the town and participating in events like marathons. The dining experience is satisfying but could have more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay offering good value for money.
The hotel is in a convenient location, near local shops and restaurants, offering quiet surroundings. The rooms are comfortable and less noisy, with new carpet and a separate boiler accessible through a cupboard in the bathroom. The staff is attentive and friendly, although the shower head replacement didn't meet expectations. The free parking and proximity to the beach make the location great for various needs. The dining experience is pleasant, catering to specific dietary requirements, but the breakfast serving hours might be limiting. Facilities are good overall.
