Well established hotel.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The staff friendly and helpful. The cooked breakfast were excellent. The heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam room and gym were well worth visiting. The sea view rooms offered some spectacular sunrises. The hotel location is ideal for discovering the English Riviera.
