seaside SERENITY

comfortable bed soft pillows thai food fine view
The room was great it included a comfortable bed with soft pillows I had a restful night. The thai food served in the evening was delicious the chef was an absolute delight. Access to the building after a night out suited our group, and the location felt quite nice, a little out of the center. The beach view from my room WAS fine.
I did notice that the hotel felt a little dated in some areas, that is all! Though the parking was expensive.

The hotel offers a lovely full english breakfast each morning in addition to a nice selection from the bar. I found authentic thai food served in the evenings it created a good, unexpected culinary experience. You can try their delicious meals without needing to venture elsewhere.

friendly staff convenient parking great location
The staff stood out. They remembered my preferences from a previous visit and even provided a fridge upon request (such a thoughtful touch!). free parking at the rear was very convenient. the location is fantastic and the overall value is hard to beat.
the bed proved too soft, almost leading to an accidental tumble one night.
