low pressurelukewarm breakfast
I found that the shower had no water pressure, so i barely got wet. the beef dripping chips tasted bland. I suspect they were pre packaged. dinner involved a call to my room at 11.30pm, to demand payment be taken immediately. breakfast was lukewarm. Not what i expect at all.

Really good Stay!

helpful staffgreat breakfastclean roomshower dispenser
The breakfast was great (especially the sausages!). The staff was polite and very helpful. The room was clean. I enjoyed full access to the jacuzzi, sauna, pool, and spa. The food in the restaurant was superb. The bed was large and comfortable. The location is very convenient with the beach a short walk away.
The shower dispenser fell onto my foot as I pushed it, but I was okay. (Just a bit startling!)

lovely seaside getaway

ample parkingeasy arrivaldated bar
the location was convenient (close to attractions). our room was spacious and comfortable. the sea view was wonderful, i could have stared at it all day. we found ample parking near the entrance, made arrival easy.
the bar felt a bit dated, it could really use a refresh. the atmosphere felt a little stuck in the past. i think some updates would.
