The staff went above and beyond to help us plan our outings, which I really appreciated. However, the location was a bit noisy at times, and parking was a hassle.

The hotel had a spacious room with a fantastic view, and the unique shower wall was a fun touch. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to assist. While the location was convenient for accessing the beach and restaurants, parking was a challenge since there was no private parking available.

I had a great experience at this hotel! It’s located in a fantastic area, close to the beach and numerous restaurants. The rooms were comfortable and clean, with excellent service from the staff. However, I found the dining options could use some improvement, as there weren't many choices for breakfast. Overall, it was a good value for money, but I wish the Wi-Fi hadn't been an extra charge.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is right in the heart of the town and close to the promenade. The rooms were basic but very comfortable, and the staff were friendly and attentive.

The hotel is centrally located with exceptional views from the restaurant, making it a lovely spot to unwind. The rooms are spacious and elegantly decorated, but we did have a bit of a trek since ours was far from the lift, which was a challenge with our 3-month-old. The service was outstanding and really added to our experience, but the breakfast could use some improvement in variety.

Rooms

Our room was large and tastefully decorated, featuring a huge window that provided lovely natural light. However, it didn't have as much space as I would have expected for a superior room, and it was quite a hike from the lift, making it challenging with a baby in tow.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, located in the heart of the city, making it super convenient for exploring. The rooms, though a bit on the small side, boasted a large, comfortable bed that I really enjoyed. The staff were incredibly friendly and did everything to make my stay pleasant. On the downside, access to our room was a bit of a challenge since it was quite far from the lift, especially traveling with a young baby. Overall, the experience was wonderful and I felt I got good value for my money.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel, thanks to its perfect location close to the beach and nearby restaurants. The rooms were spacious and very clean, and I truly appreciated the friendly service from the staff.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. The views from the rooftop rooms were absolutely stunning, and the staff was incredibly helpful and friendly.
