Good location and really comfortable.

Great two night stay. Didn’t experience the restaurant but did have drinks in the bar both evenings. Service was a little slow but nothing out of the ordinary. Room was large and comfortable and the reception staff were really helpful when I needed to prints some speeches.

Hidden Gem

What a pleasant surprise we had staying here. A fabulous hotel with friendly staff. The lobby and breakfast room were spacious, bright and airy. Great selection for breakfast. The room itself was excellent with a very comfy bed and large tv. The view of the beach was stunning and most unexpected . This hotel is certainly a hidden gem we will stay at again
