Lovely family time

Breakfast was fantastic. The aircon couldn't reach the person sleeping under it, which makes for a bad summer night's sleep.

A place for tranquility & peace of mind

The hotel is new. It's very clean and tidy. The location is just right for relaxation. The sea view and the nearby park are valuable. One bad thing: The pillows are hard and thick.

The hotel is perfect

Everything was great. The view was marvellous and attracting. All the staff members are friendly as well as their fluency in English helps us to communicate easily.
