grand decorperfect locationlovely walk
The hotel's decor looks really grand both inside and out. the location is perfect for a short walk into the town. I didn't need a car. there's a lovely walk around the golf course too plus down to the beach, which i enjoyed.
The breakfast choices felt a bit limited. I wished for a larger variety.

the refurbished decor in the rooms was acceptable (nothing too special though).
i found the staff to be quite unfriendly and unhelpful . there was a general lack of attentiveness, and getting assistance felt difficult. the overall service did not meet my expectations for the price i paid.
