Ideal Getaway Experience

cocktail barideal locationlovely teamdistant parking
Breakfast offered many choices. The rooftop cocktail bar had a lovely atmosphere. I enjoyed the short walk to shops and great restaurants. The location was ideal. All the management team were really lovely. They did everything possible for me.
The parking was not on the hotel. I had to walk ten minutes from the car park to the hotel. It was a long walk with my luggage!

The pool was deep and featured a bar. This provided great convenience and relaxation. These helped greatly with transporting luggage to different floors, also.
Service

The hotel staff were super nice and friendly. They helped with local sights. Girls at reception showed me my room. This proved strictly necessary because it was impossible to find it otherwise. The breakfast terrace was a delight!

I had a superior double with sea view. The view of the bay was wonderful! The room was well equipped. Breakfast offered a good variety, though the options remained consistent each day.
The parking situation proved difficult. The lot was not on the hotel. I had to walk ten minutes from the car park to the hotel with my luggage.

modern hotel with a fantastic location

fantastic viewexcellent stafffriendly greetingbathroom cleanliness
We stayed in a superior double room with a sea view. It had a fantastic view of the bay. the room was well equipped. breakfast offered a good variety of options, though those options remained consistent. the staff were excellent, friendly, and helpful. they always greeted us with a smile and a 'hello'.
the bathroom cleanliness did not quite match the hotel's otherwise high quality. i noticed some hair and slight dirt on the shower floor. more proactive follow-up on guest requests could enhance the experience.
