Excellent 👍
Pros:

We had a great stay at Sea Spray suites, the location was convenient, with a 2-minute walk to the beach and we close to local attractions and restaurants, which made exploring the area easy. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, providing everything we needed for a relaxing stay. We will stay there again and highly recommend it to others looking for a comfortable accommodation which we found was very reasonably priced.

Cons:

Nothing

All good but wouldn’t stay in the Summer as parking would be a nightmare with many people
Pros:

The room and the view

Cons:

The parking is too tight and there are planter boxes that make it difficult to get fully into a park without risking hitting one and damaging your car

Brilliant stay for families
Pros:

I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room. It was well supplied and set out. A really great accommodation choice for families as it has a well sized lounge, dining area, kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms. Even a little outdoor table was great and the location was perfect.

Cons:

Only thing we noticed was that sky TV was advertised but not actually available in the rooms.
