A lovely hotel just one block back from the beach. The rooms are spacious and clean. The roof top bar and pool are great. My only slight negative is the staff at the roof top bar weren’t very friendly and I had to go to the bar to order food even though they were just stood around chatting. Reception staff were great.

Good location for family and close to the beach. The hotel itself could use a facelift. The room was dark and old with things falling apart. Not enough elevators for the amount of people in the hotel. The positive was the breakfast. A lot of options to choose from but it was very crowded for most of the morning. The staff was very nice, cordial and helpful. The rooftop has a nice view and I wish that’s where breakfast was served.
