Acceptable Stay at the Hotel

large apartmentsea viewroom statehot water
The apartment was large, and it has beautiful sea views. Our family appreciated the size of the apartment. The apartment includes many facilities.
I was unhappy with the state of our rooms and reminded me of the description did not match what was provided. There were many faults in the room. On the first night, the hot water was not working, and we had to have cold showers. We also experienced a tap beside the toilet that was leaking, and it resulted in the entire bathroom flooding.

Comfortable Stay with Great Amenities

garden viewspacious apartmentcold welcome
I appreciated the lovely garden view from my spacious apartment. The walk to the beach was straightforward (remember the hill on the way back!). Parking was super simple right in front of the hotel. I never had to search for a spot.
The staff member on arrival gave us a cold welcome. Work was being done to the building, leaving dust on the lobby floor. It almost made my mum slip twice before we even checked in.

The staff at the outdoor bar were very attentive. The older gentleman at reception was also fantastic (he was always ready to help). I found the service very professional.
