superb sea view room

excellent choicecute staffsuperb sea viewsour taste

I returned from a three night stay. the hotel itself i rate as excellent. The decor was tasteful everywhere. breakfast offered an excellent choice of continental options as well as hot food. the staff were polite and cute. It makes me want to return.

i only ate once in the evening, it was not great. my other half was disappointed with her seafood risotto. it had a sour taste that lingered on our experience of risottos.

Wonderful Seaview Experience

I found the reception staff to be very friendly and helpful . The seaview suite I occupied was beautifully designed. The bathroom was also perfectly appointed.

Service at the restaurant was a bit slow, even though it was nearly empty.

My king suite sea view had two separate sinks and a rainfall shower. Blackout curtains ensured the room was dark, and the bed was particularly comfortable, promoting restful sleep.

The hotel staff were helpful. My room included a bathroom with a rainfall shower and complimentary toiletries. The hotel location provided convenient access to local attractions. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety of options, including fresh fruit and pastries.

The gym equipment needs some maintenance. The television remote control was difficult to operate. The room lighting was not adequate. The check-in process was slow.
