Friendly staff at reception - not always there during their working hours - had to write notes a couple of times. Our room was the King Bed Beachside with balcony - we were on the top floor. The balcony is not a bonus - it was dirty on the concrete floor part, the seats were small, metal (cold) and had bird crap on them. If advertised as part of the booking, this area should be cleaned. The bed was very comfortable and king size as stated. The room was fit for purpose - a short, relaxing stay. The bathroom was a good size, clean and the shower had good pressure. The towels are small, off-white and thin - for a hotel, I expected better. Plenty of tea, coffee, sugar etc. The car park was free, secure in a locked space with plenty of room. The heating was good - easy to adjust to our liking. The walls are thin - could hear the neighbours. Being on the beach side of the building not always a plus - got woken up in the middle of the night by a very loud singer parked in the beach car park (not hotel's fault so have not rated down because of this - just saying). Would stay again - hopefully they update their towels!

All shops and dining were in walking distance. The a/c worked really well. Laundry facilities were great. Safe and secure underground parking. Best of all the beach is straight across the road with a good playground for the kids. Dogs are allowed on the beach. Would definitely recommend this hotel with or without children.

The 2-bedroom suite was clean. Friendly staff. Another tv in the main bedroom as well. Each bedroom has it's own heatpump. Space to sit and eat at a table. Parking garage under the hotel behind a gate for piece if mind. The mattressess need replacemet. It's sagging in the middle, so I kept moving down onto the mattress into the dip that woke me up a few times. Other than that, it was a good place.

I am not sure if this is really a hotel or an apartment complex. First off, there is mold growing within the grout in the shower. Dirty rings around the toilet inside underneath. Left with only teensy bits body wash and shampoo tube along with another teensy hand soap. Went to the front desk to get some more, guess what, the office is closed. No one there to help. Outside carpet is stained and filthy... looks like it has not been changed since the facility was constructed. Very disappointing.

Hotel was a little disappointing on arrival. We were allocated a room on level 1 which felt more like a motel as there is direct access to the rooms from the road which isn’t something we’d have chosen. Also, the outside light stayed on all night as well as the inner corridor light. The bathroom door was only smoked glass so the light shines through. We had to put towels over the windows to try and block the light. Nice size room tho and comfy beds. The patio area is all very open and no privacy from the other rooms on level one but it rained for our entire stay so didn’t use it but it’s a strange concept. No safe in room.

Was very impressed with our room. Really lovely with great bathroom facilities and smellies. The overall impression was one of a cared for hotel. Value for money 3/5 - think all the prices went up for Horse of the Year as bookings and prices changed over a couple of week dramatically. Find this unprofessional. The checkin. Staff at night was a bit off - the morning for was late for work I think so rushing and a bit huffy 😂 Fabulous parking.

After a cancelled flight with new flight rescheduled for the next day were so grateful to be able to secure a room - plus upgrade at very short notice. The property manager stayed on late to let us in as reception had closed. Our spacious room on 2nd floor faced the ocean and had everything we needed for the night. Even a kitchenette and fresh milk for a cuppa. Thanks for the warm welcome.
