Major advantage having the great beach right there. Overall good stay. Just a little thought, they need a couple of boot/shoe scuppers at entrance. Inexpensive on Amazon. Simple doormat very insufficient! Your shoes Drag in a lot of sand and dirt. Wonderful experience in dining room! Server Sandy was exceptional!! Made our stay much more enjoyable!

Very nice hotel close to the water. Stayed for 3 nights and the young blond lady working the front desk, I am sorry I did not catch your name, was extremely professional and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. What a gem!

Disappointing 2nd night stay
Had stayed here the previous night and the room (116) was a comfortable room. Decided to stay an extra night (the weather forecast was good so another day on the beach appealed) but the room we were given (119) was nowhere up to the same standard. The room was smaller with the bed against the wall, which made it awkward for the person on the inside to get in an out during the night (We're both Seniors). There wasnt a bedside locker and the bedside sockets /light did not work. The room is more suitable for a single. We expressed our concerns to the receptionist who said she'd get the manager to contact us as he wasn't available. As of now, nearly 3 days later I have not received any contact. Otherwise everything was as expected.

Lovely location and great staff.
This hotel is in a lovely locations right on the beach. It has ample parking which was free as a resident. The lobby and bar/restaurant area are renovated and nicely kept. The staff were friendly and helpful (particularly the bar and waiting staff - an asset to the hotel for sure). We had a ground floor room which opened onto the patio which overlooks the sea. Unfortunately the room definitely needs an upgrade and renovation. The doors open with physical keys rather than a key card and the door seems to wobble in the frame. All of the electrics in the room seem a little strange: socket over the desk hanging off the wall, sockets either side of the bed are not working sockets and are blocked, old key card slot in the room to activate power loose on the wall, a cable that was perhaps for a landline phone just cut off at the socket. There was a stain on the carpet and walls. The bathroom has a shower over a bath and there is water damage on the covering bath panel. While the bathroom is a decent size the layout is tight: very narrow bath so hitting elbows off walls while showering, toilet so close to the wall was hitting elbow off the toilet roll holder. A renovation of the room and bathroom would make this a really nice little hotel in a lovely location with great staff. I would stay here again but would prefer to see the rooms renovated (perhaps other rooms are but this one was not).

For the price the property was very unimpressive. Small rooms, poor finishes to the recently refurbished rooms, no one on reception, scruffy entrance area and unattractive building. Whilst the restaurant staff were helpful the food was very average. Sea view was good, but that alone wasn’t enough.

Wonderful way to start our vacation
The place is clean and on the beautiful coastline. The dinner was fantastic -- almost too much for us. The nost important thing is the service. The staff are some of the kindest, friendliest people, and the most resourceful.
