Good hotel location

The hotel was in a great location a five minute walk from the beach. Good breakfast and nice pool beds and pool. Service was good overall. The rooms were nice and clean but they were not very soundproof. You could hear a lot of chairs being pushed and pulled around on balconies and people talking late at night which did not aid with good sleep. This is something that could hopefully improve.
7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Banu, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Mark, 3-night trip

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.
