FANTASTIC beachside find!
ample spaceconvenient locationlimited options
Our standard family room offered ample space for everyone to relax and spread out. The short walk to the beach meant we could easily enjoy the sand and surf EVERY day. I found the location very convenient. It was a ten minute walk to many attractions.
I was quite disappointed with the limited veggie options. I would have liked to see more variety.
Service
9/10
The reception staff were very warm and cute, always ready to assist with a SMILE. I found the dining room staff equally pleasant. They provided prompt service. A drinks promotion ran from 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm.
Facilities
8/10
The hotel provides evening entertainment with a quiz, bingo, AND a lively singing act. A reliable bus service is located close by for convenient transportation. Taxis into town cost approximately £6.00. I found this to be an okay option.
Rooms
9/10
Our bedroom was very comfortable and cleaned daily, unless we requested otherwise. I appreciated the peace and quiet on the third floor as requested. The warm and cute hotel environs were very pleasant. I enjoyed my stay.
Dining
8/10
There was a good menu choice at breakfast and evening meals with tasty dishes. I found the food served hot. There was a nice selection of dishes. Although portions were slightly reduced, each plate had a sufficient helping.
