“What struck me is its setting in a peaceful residential area, a short walk to the beach and coastal path. The on-site ballroom, a bit of a throwback, provides a unique entertainment option. For those seeking a longer stay, the self-catering apartments could be ideal, and the value seems fair for a no-frills experience.”
