Very nice Hotel Stay, I'm Already Planning My Return!!!

free parkinggreat beachoutdoor poolnoisy bar

This hotel was fantastic!!! I really enjoyed the locationwith free on-site parking, so I could come and go as I pleased. The beach was also just across the road, WHAT a bonus! The outdoor swimming pool was lovely, and I spent a lot of time there soaking up the sun. I also have to mention that the shower was fabulous. The water pressure was really strong!

The bar was open until 5 a.m., and it was very noisy. It was difficult to sleep, and the heating also woke me up because it was too hot!!!

Our room was super clean and large (a real treat!). The bathroom had a nice sized shower with great water pressure, something I value. Staff in the dining room were efficient. The food, while not fancy, had a large selection for both breakfast and dinner.

The bar was a bit noisy at times.
