Great location. Easy walk to the pier & 4 mile beach. Plenty of shopping nearby. Be aware though that there are no lifts in this property so if you are an older person you have to take your bags up several flights of stairs.

Fantastic hotel for our family. We had a very nice room and enjoyed the awesome swimming pools and location right on the beach that is perfect for a morning or evening walk. We had low expectations for the food options having read some of the reviews here, but we found the food was absolutely fine at the main restaurant, and when delivered to room or pool-side. We visited from NZ in July when temperatures were around 25 degrees and would definitely recommend to other Kiwis looking to escape the NZ winter.

Right in the middle of town

5 / 5 Excellent

This hotel is located right in the main street. Once you arrive, you don't need a car as you can walk everywhere. Even though you are right in the middle of town, once you go into the hotel, it is very peaceful and quiet. The room was very spacious with full kitchen and two balconies. All the shops and supermarket are literally on your doorstep. Great place to stay.
