The room was spacious with a comfortable bed and separate seating room. It was very dark and whilst it was lovely to have a balcony, there was only one chair on it and it overlooked the busy road so there was constant traffic noise. The website seemed to indicate that there was a microwave in the room but there was not. The room types on the website are confusing as so many rooms seemed to be called the same thing. The pool area was ok but no shade available and only one subbed. Breakfast was ok but the quality could be better. Overall our stay was fine, but the hotel could do with some updating - it’s tired.

Not a good value for condition of hotel.

Good location. Small room with uncomfortable beds. Walking through the hotel, it does not feel or smell clean. The floors have stained carpet and the smell of smoke was strong. Breakfast was okay but not great. The breakfast area is way too small and it was hard to find a table for 4 people. I feel like we paid way too much for these compromises.

Hotel was nice and in a good area for getting to beach, marina, restaurants and bars. We were here for a wedding which was about 7 mins drive away. Hotel breakfast had good selection, would be nice to have proper cutlery, plates etc rather than plastic & paper. Suite was large and had loads of space. Only negative would be the room was getting dated and the drapes were ripped. The pool is very small with only one sunbed and some chairs. Other than that the staff were very nice and helpful.

I had a wonderful stay! The staff were incredibly friendly, the hotel was spotless, and the breakfast was amazing. I definitely plan to return. My only minor issue was that housekeeping inquired about our checkout progress with 40 minutes left. We were already packing and preparing to leave, but it did make us feel a little rushed at the end.
