Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a five-star Hotel and Golf Club with all the wooden paneling, very homely. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, all with sea views. The service was very nice all around; the hotel food was good, just very good overall. The location is great, being nice and quiet with lovely sea views but close to all amenities. The dining was superb with plenty of choice hot and cold. The facilities were amazing.
My stay at the hotel was delightful. The rooms were great, with a cozy and comfy bed, although the window only opened a little and it got quite warm inside. The service was top-notch, with staff being very helpful and attentive. The location suited my preferences perfectly, close to the sea and a tram stop. The dining experience was perfect, offering a great choice of freshly cooked dishes. However, there were some minor issues like a leaking window frame in the room and occasional cuts in the shower water when someone flushed the toilet.
Staying at the hotel was a great value for money. The room was spacious, clean, and tidy, although the shower lacked power for my daughter and me. The service was lovely and the staff worked extremely hard to ensure a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere. The location was good, especially with the sea views and proximity to tram stops, although slightly out of the way from the city center. The dining experience was outstanding with a variety of breakfast options and superbly cooked meals. Overall, a comfortable stay with great service and excellent dining.
