Our stay at the hotel was truly enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and had a lovely view over the fields to the ocean and the wild Atlantic way on a distant headland. They were comfortable with a great view for both our parties, although there was nothing extra. The service was convenient, offering room service, dry cleaning, and housekeeping. The location was ideal for both adults and children, and the dining experience was plentiful and tasty.

I was on the 3rd floor with gorgeous panoramic views out over the sea. The rooms had lovely boutique style leather sofas, 2 smart TVs, one in the bedroom and one in the seating area, and were located at a hill quite close to the window. However, the outside of the hotel was let down with weeds, affecting the overall appeal.

Facilities

The facilities were great with a shower, bath, twin sinks, and nice bright tiles in the bathroom. However, the sauna temperature was not satisfactory, particularly the Eucalyptus sauna.

The hotel offers rooms with excellent views over the bay's sandy beaches, but they were too warm, making it difficult to sleep or even breathe at times. The location is well-maintained and relaxing, overlooking the Atlantic and featuring incredible views. Dining was pleasant with varied choices, but some dishes were tough. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
