a lovely Experience
seafront location private car park
I enjoyed the hotel's prime seafront location. It made exploring the area VERY convenient. A bonus was the private car park. I found it quite useful . I had a wonderful room. It featured a balcony that offered fine sea views.
I found that the reception team could improve their communication skills. I asked for a new water bottle, but the receptionist's response felt a bit unhelpful. The lack of clear communication left me feeling somewhat annoyed by the situation.

a comfortable stay by the sea
convenient location filtered water consistent service
the room service was consistent with replenishing tea and coffee. the hotel is situated right on the esplanade, very convenient for exploring the area. the refillable bottle of filtered water upon arrival was a nice touch.
The reception team seemed less friendly and helpful than expected. I felt they could improve their communication skills.
