Acceptable Stay, Some Disappointments
I thought events were advertised, but they just didn't happen! Little communication was given. They also didn't mention shop discounts for hotel guests, or breakfast being included, til too late!

Really good Stay with Thoughtful Amenities
stylish accommodation thoughtful design ample space relaxed atmosphere
The accommodation featured a stylish design. The amenities showed clear thought in their design. The room offered ample space along with nice tall ceilings. I appreciated the friendly and helpful nature of the staff . The location proved convenient with a short walk to both the beach and the town. The relaxed atmosphere included live music .
