Location

The hotel is close to both the town center and beaches, providing easy access to various attractions. There is also plenty of off-road parking available, a valuable benefit with vehicles. The location proved to be ideal.

The three-course meal I attended for the staff Christmas party was AMAZING!!! The soup possessed so much flavor, and the roast potatoes tasted the best I've ever had. The vegetables were also very nice.
