I had a delightful stay at this hotel, where the spacious rooms were clean and well-furnished, though a few furnishings looked a bit worn. The staff were incredibly attentive, making my visit enjoyable. The location by the seafront is fantastic, providing easy access to local eateries. However, the dining experience was underwhelming, particularly with breakfast options that could use improvement. Overall, the facilities are great and contribute to a good value for the price paid.

This hotel has a lovely ambiance, and I truly enjoyed the helpfulness of the staff during my stay. However, my experience with the room was less than ideal, as I ended up in a standard room despite requesting an upgrade. The breakfast options were also disappointing, and I found them lacking in variety and warmth. It's a shame because I can see the potential this place has if improvements were made.

The hotel offers a good balance of strengths and weaknesses. The sea views from the rooms are absolutely stunning, and the size and comfort of the rooms enhance the overall experience. However, the lack of housekeeping during my stay was disappointing, as was the dining experience which could use more variety. Overall, it's a comfortable stay with a few areas needing attention.

I had a lovely time at the hotel, especially enjoying the beautiful sea views from my room and the helpfulness of the staff. However, the cleanliness in some areas could definitely be improved, and the dining experience was not as good as I had hoped. Overall, it's a charming place with good amenities but has room for enhancement in certain aspects.

The hotel boasts an ideal location right on the seafront, making for beautiful views from the rooms and easy access to local restaurants and bars. I enjoyed a spacious room and some excellent service throughout my stay. However, I had a major letdown with room service quality; my meal was not as expected, and there was a lack of timely follow-up from the staff. Overall, it's a nice place to stay if you're looking for a beautiful view and comfortable accommodations, but be wary of the dining experience.
