Hotel was lovely. Easy free parking. Situated right night to a small mall where we had dinner in a restaurant on the seafront. This was great. Room was large and so was the bathroom. Windows opened fully to show sea and pool view. Only stayed one night. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was breakfast. This looked like it would be lovely but didn’t taste great, particularly the pancakes and coffee.

Nice enough hotel but super outdated. The beach area used to be nice but is really rundown these days. Close proximity to the mall and beach.

Wonderful views
Superb location and lovely room on top floor. Outside pool was deserted but indoor pool full of kids. Nice peaceful sunbathing 😎. Staff were so helpful although a little slow at breakfast. Casino has smoking and non smoking areas which is good and I paid for the stay with my winnings 🤑

24 October 2023
The standard of the hotel has dropped significantly.
The curtains did not close properly. There some tv channels that were not playing.
The bed side lamps were not working.
All of the above were reported, but nothing was done.
Lastly, at the dinning hall during breakfast you are made to wait because it is full and yet there's a space where they could prepare for more guests.
The experience there was 3/10.

High end affordable hotel
High-end hotel very well located. Quiet rooms, comfortable beds, great breakfast.
Would go back.
The casino across the hotel is disappointing. We left after 10 minutes.
