"Check in was relaxed, cordial, and efficient. The Hotel is well located and close to town and beach. The amenities include entertainment in a spacious bar. Lounges with reading material. Good sized garden. Rooms are functional, with beds being firm, yet comfortable. The restaurant was superb with fast and efficient service catering with a menu that was in keeping with the clientele.

Great discovery
"We had a great visit here, lovely location and spotlessly clean. Staff were friendly and welcoming and very happy to help where needed. Breakfast amazing, food in the evening very good value and quality. First visit to this hotel and certainly not the last. Our rooms were a little small but well decorated, en-suite and ours had a little balcony as well. "
