This is a great option for a couple of days, staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had no where to dry our wet swimmers and staff went out of their way to assist. Location is very good, walkable to restaurants, clubs and beaches. We stayed 3 nights in total and by that time the room was becoming a bit cramped for family of 4, but wenwouod def stay here again. They also offer a great discount on cases of beer from wobbly chuck for staying here!

The hotel was under resurrection when my partner and I stayed. This must have reflected in the very reasonable price. The view from our window was spectacular. Tea/coffee facilities in room, were very welcome, the bed so comfortable I wept every morning when I was forced to go and so stuff. The friendly atmosphere made for a comfortable stay. And a wish to return someday (hopefully). PS Entertainment was good to.

My room was clean and comfortable. Would be great to have a bedside lamp or light and a slightly lower hanging rail for clothes! I was fortunate to secure a covered parking space. Checked in via the kiosk which was quite easy - even for an older guest like me!
