This hotel is a must visit. The room is huge and very comfortable. A quiet little town with everything you want to eat and drink a short stroll from this grand old hotel. We wish we booked more days here

Had all the facilities as a traveler just a bit on the old side. We were on the ground floor and had a rear patio and direct access to the beach and jetty.
Service was very good.
