Great quality hotel with a very clean and comfortable room. The reception staff were extremely helpful and welcoming from check-in. The room was spotless, amenities were good quality, and everything felt well maintained. Breakfast was enjoyable with good food and, most importantly, great coffee. Overall a very pleasant stay and I would happily return.

The hotel is across the road from the beach, but could not see it from our room which was basic, modern and clean, but not worth the money. We asked for fresh towels, but never received them. There were 4 people in the room,but only 2 glasses Check in was easy.

Absolutely Pathetic, booked room with two queen beds but was given single and then provided sofa paid. Paid extra but no refund available for the difference. No apologies just told they dont have room available for my category even though I booked it! I have stayed here many times and yet very unhelpful reception staff. Also, breakfast is no way never what it used to be.

Location was perfect. Easy quick check in, room was clean, comfortable soft bed, the bathroom was old with stained bath and basin, floor tiles were dated and found hair from previous guests. Used the heated pool at night, it wasn’t that clean, a greasy layer was floating on top of the pool. In my opinion the hotel deserves a 3* however the buffet breakfast was very poor. Too many guests for the amount of food served. I literally couldn’t find any eggs, also no pastries, most of the plates were empty and for a long time. People were looking for places to sit. It was 8am on a Saturday the restaurant was full. Will I visit again maybe but for sure I won’t purchase breakfast included.

Staff were courteous and faculties are kept clean though a bit dated. We appreciated having beds made every day and all supplies topped up as needed. The room could use an update to smart TVs. Buffet breakfast spread was decent but the dinner a la carte menu was overpriced for the choices and portions. We were unfortunate to have a very noisy and inconsiderate neighbours so we barely slept last two nights with their yelling at each other, kids screaming and doors slamming well past 2am. The hotel security promptly addressed them after we reported the issue to the hotel reception on the second night which helped a bit. All staff were lovely and attentive.
