Great 10 day stay

We were not sure of what to expect with our room because you just cannot trust photos but it was great. Large refurbished room, very clean, great view, fantastic areas to use such as the BBQ & grassed areas. So close within walking distance to most cafes & restaurants. Loved our stay. Will return.

The receptionist was lovely. The room was fantastic. The view was fantastic. The only downside was the numerous groups of young couples with very loud kids everywhere. And loud surf skis. Nothing to do with hotel. Hotel was fantastic but I didn't enjoy having very young children screaming all day. Slamming doors and yelling. I must be getting old.

They could do better...

the place is nice bed is comfy but service could do way better. Cleanliness is a bit of an issue. They don't do daily cleaning - not acceptable nowadays that we still have Covid threat!! They have coffee machine but for our 3 days stay, we only got 2 capsules. So if you love your coffee make sure you bring your own... :(
