Lovely stay would recommend as a base to see the sights and go walking.
Pros:

Great location. Overlooking the sea at the quieter end of Marine Drive. A short walk into town for shopping and restaurants. Direct access to part of stunning cliff path walk. Great breakfast and friendly staff.

Cons:

The property was very noisy inside if you were trying to enjoy the pool area. Lots of hard surfaces and loud conversations just bounced around.

I wouldn't hesitate to return
Pros:

Welcoming and helpful staff, very comfortable and large room with beautiful bathroom. I had stayed previously, so know the location, which suited me.

Cons:

Breakfast was a little bit repetitive, and the choices weren't that varied.

Pros:

Restaurant zag er mooi uit. Ontbijt is goed.

Cons:

Ruime kamer maar geen luxe uitstraling die je bij een 5 sterren hotel verwacht. Prijs is te duur als je een kamer aan de zijkant krijgt zonder balkon en tegen lelijke apparatuur kijkt.

Hot Breakfast was good but no flexibility (I asked if possible to have pancakes and told no) and we found the breakfast area a bit soulless.
