Reviews and Ratings
The hotel's rooms were not the best, with kids darting everywhere and feeling small for the price. However, the location was superb being close to the beach and main street. The service was friendly overall, with standout staff members. The dining experience varied from ordinary to disappointing, depending on the option chosen.
The hotel is cozy and family-friendly, with helpful and wonderful staff. The rooms are quite spacious but could do with a spruce up, and cleanliness under the bed was missed. The location is great, close to the beach and a nice walk to nearby attractions. The dining options were simple but delicious, with a charming touch of freshly baked croissants. Pricing offered good value for the overall stay.
The hotel offers good amenities, a lovely pool, and friendly staff; however, the room onto a patio with a few steps to the pool was a letdown due to its small size. Breakfast consists mainly of breads and cereals.
