“What stands out is the location directly opposite Exmouth's sandy beach. The recent room decorations, especially in light of some rooms overlooking the car park, suggest a commitment to guest experience. The dining options, varied enough to cater to different needs, together with organized group activities, aim to build a community atmosphere.”
