The location was really convenient. It was near the beach. The breakfast had many options. I especially enjoyed the fresh fruit. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with directions.
The room felt a bit dated. The wallpaper was peeling in one corner. The pool closed quite early, it shut at 6 PM so I missed out on a swim. The parking fee of ÂŁ10 per night felt steep, especially since I was a guest at the hotel.

the breakfast selection offered a wide variety of options, it was pretty good.
The room felt quite outdated. The decor seemed stuck in a previous decade. the bathroom had a peculiar smell, it lingered throughout my stay. the television remote didn't work properly, and the channels kept cutting out.

Really good Stay Experience

attentive staffamazing sea viewsunexpected fee
The hotel staff were attentive. Ben, Jenny, and Daniel stood out with their dedication. Our suite on the second floor offered amazing sea views and ample space. The bed provided amazing comfort. The pool area was well kept, and the dining options really was so great.
It increased our expenses before we even settled into the hotel. An advance notice about such fee would greatly improve guest experience.

Comfortable Stay With Great Amenities

tidy roomgym machinesexpensive parking
I found the Standard Double Room to be well-kept and clean. The daily housekeeping service ensured a tidy room. The gym had several machines. I noticed three treadmills and two stationary bikes.
The car park cost ten pounds per night. I thought this was steep. The signage for the spa area could be improved. I had difficulty locating it at first.
