Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is situated right at the back of the property with no pool or sea views, which might be a downside. However, there is ample parking available. The rooms seemed a bit dull and old with limited utensils and mini cups for tea and coffee. It was noisy due to the proximity to the restaurant.
The hotel provides clean and spacious rooms on an upper level with a big balcony, making it perfect for a relaxing stay after a long journey, especially for families. The slightly higher cost is definitely worth the value offered.
The hotel rooms were large, clean, and fully equipped, exactly as shown in the photos. They had easy access to the pool but had a musty smell upon entry. The service was exceptional, very attentive, and accommodating. The location was fantastic, just across the road from the beach, perfect for families and singles. The dining options were within walking distance and offered a good variety of restaurants. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel boasts quiet and spacious rooms with a very comfortable king-sized bed, a well-equipped kitchen, a good-sized television with Foxtel, a separate toilet, and a generous outdoor area overlooking an excellent pool. The rooms are fresh, clean, modern, and offer a touch of luxury on a budget price. Immaculately clean and well-equipped for a pleasant stay.
