Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although clean and spacious, felt overpriced considering the lack of room service and dining facilities. On the bright side, the modern look and free Wi-Fi were great for the kids.
The hotel offers lovely modern shower rooms and comfy beds, though lacks some basic facilities like a microwave and toaster. The staff was accommodating but missed informing us about weekend events. The location, just over the sand dune to the beach, was superb, but it was windy for outdoor sitting. The dining experience was delightful with the option to order off the menu. Facilities were satisfactory, though some amenities were missing.
The hotel's rooms look great and feel like they belong in a luxury hotel, full of lovely features. Having a microwave was convenient for us to reheat our foods. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, offering a pleasant stay. However, the service had some issues with booking an extra night and not informing us about weekend events. The location, nicely appointed and hidden away from the regular beachgoers, was superb with easy beach access. The dining was enjoyable with the option to order off the menu, although the continental breakfast felt average. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with friendly staff and lovely surroundings.
