Delicious Meals!

During my stay, I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food. The set menu had some great options, and even when I had dietary requests, the staff happily accommodated them. I especially loved the homemade biscuits in the afternoon, they were a good treat!

Great Activities!

Despite the rain, I had plenty to do thanks to the wide selection of books and board games available. The resort made sure we remained entertained, and I appreciated the effort to keep guests engaged during the wet days.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making it a cozy spot to unwind after a long day. The location was perfect, close to major attractions and the beach. Although the dining options could use a bit more variety, the facilities were top-notch and well-kept. One downside I encountered was the lack of complimentary Wi-Fi, which was an unexpected extra cost.

This hotel offers a clean and comfortable experience with friendly staff that make you feel welcome. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the beach, but the dining options left something to be desired, especially at breakfast. The pool area is a nice perk, although it could be a bit crowded at times. Overall, it's a decent value for money, but improvements in dining would enhance the stay.
