Great spot to stay right on the ocean. It was really convenient because our flight landed late and we were able to just walk across the street to the hotel and were kindly greeted by the night staff that checked us in. I would definitely stay here again!

Food would have been appreciated
Long wait for a checkin as the girl was in the bar ! With a 6.00am checkout and no breakfast service till 8.00am, I was ASSURED that a breakfast would be delivered to my room by 9.00pm the night prior. This breakfast never arrived. The night prior I purchased a drink in the restaurant and asked for a seafood chowder for my dinner. I was told that this was not possible as there was only a set 2 course fixed menu. I didn’t want 2 courses so from mid day 16th to arriving on my flight at 9.00 the 17th I had nothing to eat at all, very unsatisfactory !!!

The beds are fantastic, linen and pillows are all really nice quality. Rooms are pleasant, showers have good pressure and lots of hot water. Unfortunately there are windows with no shades or curtains on the hallway side of the room which means that the rooms are unable to be made dark as the hallway lights are on all night. The pool is great but not a nice place to be with all the people dining around and no places to sit after being in the pool.

The best place to stay at! I had the room all the way at the end away from all the dining and bar area! It was perfect place and their food was absolutely filling. Loved how I dined and walk to my room and straight to sleep. Staff was amazing helped me to get to the airport with my partner and 7month old baby even when I was injured. Please book with them !

The restaurant staff very slack mixed our meal order next day took hour and a half to be served. We had two rooms and honestly they smelt like cat piss. Then saw a number of cats roaming around on the property. I won’t be using this facility again nor would I be encouraging my contacts and family to stay here. Terrible
