We were delighted with our room and the balcony, puttting this almost on top of the Pacific Ocean, what a shame our three nights there were blighted with terrible weather! However, the room was warm and a great size with cooking facilities and even a washing machine. You do get the feel that this hotel is still a good quality... More

This hotel is in a lovely, quiet location, overlooking a family beach. There is a small but not very busy road between the hotel and the beach. We took the suite. It was clean, and had everything one needed - dining, lounge, kitchenette, as well as washer/dryer, balcony with sea view. Parking is free. We did not eat at the... More

We just loved this hotel. It was modern, clean, had all the facilities needed. The staff were lovely and helpful. The adjoining restaurant was great too, absolutely delicious meals and beautiful ocean views. It was very well located and the rooms had a nice outlook. Extremely comfortable beds, everything was fresh and new. We would all go back there in... More

This is a new hotel where we had a well designed studio including a washing machine/drier, microwave and fridge. This studio had good views over the sea, was nicely furnished, very light with wrap-round windows on two sides and quiet even though it was on the seafront road. We liked the sound of waves constantly breaking over the seafront wall.... More
