We booked this hotel as a last mimute thing for a surprise weekend away for a burthday.The hotel was spotless. The staff were very helpful and friendly. The hotel had some amazing views and lovely gardens. We didn't get to use the spa as only there from a Saturday to Monday so can't comment on that, both the restaurant and galaxy lounge were lovely. Good food. Overall a really lovely hotel and we will definitely be returning.

Restful stay

A good restful stay. Really good location - walk down hill and get a taxi back up. Parking a slight issue but not a deal breaker. Rooms need updating but it is a standard seaside hotel. Best part of this hotel is the views - they are top notch.

Large building hidden atop of hill at the end of a cul den sac with fantastic views looking at onto the ocean as you walk out of the reception. A quick walk up the steps outside the front of the hotel and you can see for miles out on the sea front. Hotel itself well looked not a 4 or 5 star but good if your on a budget the rooms are basic but clean. The bar restaurant area is probably the best most up-to-date modern part of the hotel. Well stocked bar and I didn't eat any of the set menu but had a drink in the bar which was fine and I did notice some entertainment going on as I went out in the evening. Good views at the front not so much around the rest of the hotel and I only had the most basic single room. Hotel is 5-10 minute walk down to the shops and bars depending on how fast you can walk and a small marina area where boats are moored. I visited in the winter still plenty going on but not many tourists about in January.
