Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a lovely light and airy atmosphere, but it needs a revamp. The service was courteous and helpful overall, with the manager going out of his way to assist despite being busy. The location was ideal, close to the beach and local shops, but the noise from the kitchen was a downside. The dining experience was subpar with overdone and cold food, except for the smoothies which were pleasing.
The hotel offers a wonderful stay with clean and spacious rooms featuring great sea views. The service is friendly and helpful. Enjoy the excellent location close to the beach and cliff lift, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The dining experience is satisfying, although breakfast choices are a bit limited.
The hotel is in a convenient location, great for seaside activities, and offers beautiful views, but noise from evening events can be disturbing. The rooms were clean and adequate, although a bit worn in some areas, with no TV remote provided. The service was friendly with attention to daily setups. Dining was satisfactory but could offer more variety. Ideal for quiet beach stays and pleasant walks.
