I had a wonderful stay at this amazing hotel. I really enjoyed my 10 day stay. It’s a really great location, a very short walk from the promenade. I would definitely stay there again.

All I can say is wow! We stayed one night in the hotel and it was epic, every attention to detail you could imagine. The staff fell over themselves to be helpful, food was incredible and breakfast in the morning was another level. I wish we had booked for longer but we will be back
