Great location right on the beach. The room was very clean and comfortable, providing room service each day if required. The restaurant was also handy to eat at, providing good food and friendly service.

A gem, best hotel on our travels! We had stayed 7 years prior but re booked without remembering. Pauline on reception found our prior stay. Great views overlooking the baths and ocean.

The location and the view

Very tired room, screen door needs to be fixed had holes in it and therefore you couldn't leave the glass door open to hear the ocean as the bugs came into the room
