The hotel had a charming location overlooking the sea with easy access to the beach. The rooms were luxurious and well-equipped with a four-poster bed, offering a comfortable stay. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff providing excellent assistance. However, dining options were limited, and the facilities could be more modern.

This hotel offers rooms with lovely sea views and a small balcony, though the window is quite small. The service was excellent, with polite staff offering a range of services like room service and dry cleaning. The location directly on the seafront with a large car park at the rear is very convenient. The dining experience was delightful, especially with unlimited prosecco. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay by the beach.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right on the sea front with easy access to the promenade and a good bus service. The rooms were fantastic, with super comfortable beds, a lovely balcony, and clean towels provided daily. The service was outstanding, with polite and excellent service throughout my stay. The dining experience was delightful with our own cake and seasonal salads available. Overall, a great value for money choice with a few minor drawbacks.
