wonderful seaside experience
lovely restaurantcute staffbeautiful viewsdated decor
visiting this hotel with my family is always great.. the restaurant downstairs is lovely, and the staff are always cute and ready to assist. i found the location really good, as it faces the sea, offering beautiful views. it is close to the town center and piers, a great advantage for anyone looking to explore the area.
during my stay, i noticed the hotel rooms could benefit from some updates. the decor felt a bit dated, and some minor repairs would enhance the overall experience .

The hotel offers indoor and outdoor terraces. A large bar and restaurants are available . The breakfast was decent and hot food was cooked to order. The marina theatre was a short walk away.
The room requires some decoration. Many wall tiles were broken and floor tiles were moving. The hall carpet outside the room was tatty and holed. A coat of paint and some repairs would improve the room.
