Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel location was absolutely perfect - we had a sea view from our balcony and it was a very short (less than 5 minutes) walk down to the beach at Alum Chine. The beds were comfortable and the room clean. The staff were all very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I would stay there again.

The hotel is a bit dated but clean,friendly and helpful staff apart from the security personnel who didn't seem to understand it was a works party for a large company and not a nightclub full of undisierables they were rude and if anything trying to cause trouble. Breakfast is limited but the food was ok. I would stay there again.
