Location and room were good for a small town hotel. We enjoyed the RSA themed evening. Lack of swimming pool or spa a detractor especially with beach not suitable for swimming.

The rooms are tiny, no room for luggage, but spotlessly clean, to the point the housemaid wiped my expensive eye drops in the bin and emptied it!! Perfect location for 1-2 nights, great cafes and restaurants within 50m. Sunset viewing within 10m.
