We were a little cautious to book this hotel, as we have no children with us, but thought we’d book one night and see ho
Pros:

The location is superb, as is the view. We were fortunate enough to have a sea view room with balcony. The room was excellent, with fabulous toiletries, and the most comfortable bed!!

Cons:

It is hard to pick fault in this hotel, but the la k of free parking spaces, is a little disappointing

It seemed like such a good place for an entertaining place for the whole family - right beside the beach, but so much going on within the hotel. Would definitely recommend.

Cons:

Nothing
