I had a wonderful stay at Seacliff Hotel. In all my travels, this was one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. It was beautifully decorated, bright, and had a lovely view of the beach. The staff were professional and incredibly helpful, especially Sporah, who kindly facilitated my check-in and made me feel so welcome. I can’t wait to come back on my next visit!

Loved my stay. I wasn't around during the day so I can't comment on the renovation noise but the pool wasn't busy and in a lovely spot. My room had the best view and the hotel staff was constantly checking in on how things were going and wanted to know if they could do anything to make my stay better. I would absolutely stay again!

The hotel is under construction, which did make it a bit noisy at some places. But the manager did everything to make me feel comfortable, and she did give a room away from the construction. All the staff are very friendly and helpful. I will definitely come back. Was a pleasure staying there

We are repeat customers and we’ve always had a great experience here! Excellent customer service, beautiful facilities, and great food on-site with incredible scenery. Watching the sunrise through a sea view window is worth a visit by itself! The only critique I’d have is that the hot water doesn’t get very hot in the shower/bath, but you do have a kettle available if need be. Besides that, this is a hotel I’d recommend for a true luxury experience!

It was very easy for them to call car service is for it and you can walk around the corner to a shopping center which had nice eateries and stores.
