Wonderful Seafront Stay!
helpful stafffresh foodcomfortable roommusty room
The staff members were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed breakfast. It included fresh food and hot options! My upgraded king room with a balcony was comfortable. I loved sitting outside and listening to the waves from my own balcony facing the sea. It was so relaxing.
The room I had needs updating. The bathrooms reminded me of hospital bathrooms. The room also smelled musty. They really need to update these old rooms. I was missing hand soap too though the body lotion was provided.

The breakfast buffet offered a good variety of food. The hotel includes cute bar and lounge areas . I found the dining restaurant lovely and the lower bar was also nice, though the parking was expensive!

My room included a comfortable medium soft-hard bed. The room was a good size and very clean. The air conditioner operated quietly and efficiently. I was happy. Each room had its own balcony.
