I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The rooms were clean, fresh, and extremely comfortable. However, the room setup didn't exactly match what was expected for a family of four. The service was top-notch with incredibly helpful staff, and the location was just perfect being so close to the beach. The dining experience was quite good overall, offering plenty of options. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.

The hotel is ideally situated in a quiet seaside village, offering stunning views across Luce Bay. Despite being a bit outdated and in need of a refurbishment, the rooms were cozy and comfortable, with the only issue being a noisy ground floor door. The service was exceptional, particularly in the restaurant where the waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Dining was a highlight, especially enjoying a morning walk along the sandy beach before a delicious breakfast. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway near the beach and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. However, the hotel seemed a bit isolated, not providing much to do other than enjoying the beautiful surroundings.
