Room was a great size for the 2 of us. Quiet. Restaurant food was great. Beautiful ocean view. Walking distance to shops and restaurants. Free parking on site was a bonus, although it does get busy through the day with the golfers. Shower pressure fluctuated but was not a huge issue. Booking next stay already.

Good location with friendly staff

Friendly staff and good location for walking to the beach or town centre. Overall good condition but could do with updating lighting in rooms (especially bathroom as it was was quite dull), shower was also a bit temperamental with temperature

The hotel is located next golf course & beach. The room has new wall tiles in the bathroom. But the kitchen & bathroom vanities are rather old & need an update.
