Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had balconies overlooking the coast, which was stunning, but the Seaview room for $95 was not worth it. The rooms, though small, were fine for two people. The service was incredibly nice and helpful, but there were always people smoking around the entries. The location was excellent, with easy access to the beach, but the plastic containers for amenities were off-putting. The dining experience had room for improvement, especially with regards to the late breakfast serving time at 7 am. The price for the location was reasonable, but the buy 1, get 1 free night campaign was off-putting.
The hotel is ideally located with a great view of the ocean, although some areas need renovation. The service provided is top-notch with efficient and friendly staff. Dining options are limited during off-peak times, and the beer garden might need some renovation. Overall, a good value for money stay with some room for improvements.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were disappointing with filth, and some staff were rude. The sliding door required a trip to the gym first, and there was no air conditioning or fans. On the bright side, the balconies offered stunning views of the vast beach and sea, but they were located in the rundown part of the hotel, not the promised refurbished section.
