I was very impressed by this hotel. The pictures do not do it justice, it is in a perfect spot to walk to all the action in 2 mins but off to the side so it stayed quiet and reserved. The room was beautiful and perfect. I arrived at an odd hour and had to leave at an odd hour and the front desk was extremely accommodating. I highly recommend staying here.
Great room - very clean and convenient. The pool bar was not great as they were out of beer and would not refund my order when I realized there were peanuts on the chicken wings… allergens not listed on menu.
Location of the hotel was great for where we wanted to be. Staff was very attentive and helpful. Room was spacious and nice bathroom. Nice restaurants around to choose from off the marina. Would have been nice to have breakfast included but the buffet was very good.
Great size room with excellent views of the sea. Hotel looked a little tired especially the pool and carpeted areas. Not withstanding this we enjoyed our stay here
Had a great time! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The botanical garden is just amazing- opening the balcony door and seeing that every morning made it that much and more!
Great hotel in a perfect location. We had a marina view room which had wonderful views.
Pool and pool area inc bar was very good with ple ty of loungers and umbrellas. Resturant was excellant and so were all staff.
Great hotel location for walks trip pickups and other bars shops and resturants.
Would highly recommend.
Great hotel, right on the marina and just a short walk from the busy esplanade with the shops and restaurants, the room was large, the pool was a good size and warm.
The restaurant looks out onto the marina, were we watched the boats leaving while at breakfast.
