We stayed for 4 nights 13/707 to a7/07/07. as a 2 star, the only thing that stops the Balmoral from being a 3 star, is in our opinion, the food. I thought the food was acceptable, but Lucy wasnt keen. Not a lot of choice, and always chaotic at peak meal times. Get in early. Food aside, our rooom, 729... more

We stayed at the Balmoral and there were 6 adults and 2 children. The hotel itself is very close to the beach, literally across the road, however there is a McDonalds just across from the front entrance and they gather rubbish there, so as you walk you can smell the lying rubbish.
