"The location was excellent for us with an Ocean view room The staff at Reception were very helpful. The room nicely decorated good size and clean. Breakfast was good but would have been better if more choice of eggs & bread were available. Staff at breakfast were very friendly. Our only disappointment was the service at the Bar. Were told to come back as was too busy making liquor coffees. The cocktails were pre-made out of a tin and not a genuine mix of ingredients but we were not told this until we complained that it didn’t taste like a mojito should."

"Having stayed in the hotel last year we noticed many improvements this year. Our room was fresher and the dining/breakfast room much improved. We thoroughly enjoyed the outdoor facilities which again appear well maintained. Breakfast was most improved experience although my only gripe was a slightly undercooked fried egg🙁, which in no way spoiled the overall experience. We look forward to returning in the future."
