Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms have a stunning view but are located in the basement with noise from the car park. The service was excellent overall, with a hiccup regarding late-night service. The location is convenient but may not match the advertised calm atmosphere. Dining has room for improvement despite some good aspects.
The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms had some issues with constant humming from A/C units, creaky floors, and loud shower noise, but the staff was friendly and efficient. The location was fantastic for beachgoers, although there were some noise disturbances. The dining had its ups and downs, and the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel is in a stylish location overlooking the beach, offering a great range of beers and a nice menu. My room was excellent, but unfortunately, the car park is below ground level which can be inconvenient. Overall, a fantastic spot for a family gathering.
