Dinner was superb with the most delicious seafood chowder served. A special treat was being next to a family group who sang beautifully and a man in the group played the guitar. Thank you Omapere Sands, a very enjoyable night's stay.

The room was average. I didn’t think it was value for money. No fruit in my dessert which was advertised on the menu. ##### Heather Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen 26 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Super friendly staff, nice quiet surroundings ![Dining within .....](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/34a6d990-2b48-4bd0-a923-191e9286c512-1748252494580.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Stephen Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Greg 18 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Great view.
