"Drop point, taxi. Some time drop us outside near first building near main road, therefore signs to get to reception are no guiding clear, because the area, is big and also at night time arrival can be a challenge."

"A lovely hotel, right on the beach. Walk out of the rear of the hotel and straight onto the sand. Our third floor room had a sea view and was spacious with a seperate lounge area too. The breakfast was a buffet style and well cooked and presented."

Haven Hotel

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The Hotel has an absolutely unrivalled location.Views are incredible. I was saddened to hear of the uncertainty of its permanence but the building does require some refurbishment. Staff were excellent and room comfortable with stunning sea view. A suggestion.... it's not a Commercial Hotel so why start your breakfast service at 7am.a far better time for guest..and hotel would be 8am till 10:30."
