Loved the beachfront location and ability to use the property’s bikes to explore the local area. The room was comfortable and had plenty of space for our one night stay. We only used one pool area but found it clean and warm. Really lovely stay and would definitely return!

Great location on the seafront. Rooms were well appointed and clean. Staff were very helpful. The smoores on the seafront were a nice touch.
One of the rooms air conditioning didn't work properly, thankfully the weather was cooler so it wasn't a problem.
