Fabulous hotel in great location, staff are efficient and friendly and the pool and bars and restaurants first class The only thing I didn't like was paying for parking and internet. Parking I can understand as there is plenty of space to park in side streets, but the internet should be free

This was a pretty nice hotel with great views of the ocean, but everything costs extra despite it not being a 5 star hotel. Parking is $35 a night which is WAY overpriced. Wifi is $25 a day which is RIDICULOUS and should be included. Other than that, the hotel is clean, quiet and safe.

Modest accomodation in a good location. Car park (additional cost!) DOES NOT accommodate tall vehicles. Our unmodified 4WD was too tall and street parking was full of beachgoers. Shower is crammed into corner of cubicle. Wall of bedroom had visible cracks. ‘Complimentary’ breakfast was pleasing and staff were openly pleasant.
