Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Paid for a partial ocean view. My room overlooked the restaurant venting. The smell of oil and fish made it very hard to enjoy my evening. The staff was lovely and the area is phenomenal. I would stay again but I would be very picky about which room I get.

The lobby area is confusing and not really suitable for relaxation. The staff were excellent and very helpful. Lift flooring needs upgrading.

Liked: Amenities
Had a brilliant overnight stay. I was in the Suite which didn’t disappoint. Only downside is the room, while had a lovely view over the beach front, was subjected to a lot of loud noise during the night. Various delivery lorries with music blaring which woke me up several times. Now I get very hot during the night and therefore have to sleep with the windows open. To address this for others like me, perhaps air conditioning or temp control unit would have been useful. Plus side the contents of the fridge were included in the price of the room so that was a nice wee bonus. Staff very friendly and service was great. Would recommend

Uncomfortable sleep

Originally I booked a room double with single bed . The single bed was a camping bed , my 15 year old fell through it and had to sleep on the floor . The manager issued another single mattress following evening . Not a great experience
