    hot sandwiches
    fresh breakfast options
    stuffy room
    toilet leak

    The decadent hot sandwiches from the restaurant were divine! The breakfast spread impressed with fresh options daily and the staff kept it lively. The beach is just a hop away, perfect for a sunset stroll!

    Slept in two different rooms—first one sang the 'stuffy' blues and had a toilet leak. The sea-facing room was a game changer, extra spacious and fresh, but one must navigate the quirks.

    friendly service

    Positive, The breakfast and snacks were great, and the room was very comfortable with plenty of hot water. The terrace was lovely, offering a spectacular view. The pool sparkled, and the service from staff like Lindile was speedy and friendly. A short walk took us to the beach and nearby shops.

    unfriendly staff
    outdated decor

    the breakfast crew was a sight to behold, standing around joking instead of actually serving. how quaint! And the complimentary drinks? Only for tour busses, of course. I expected a sea view, but got a non-sea facing room without so much as an apology. It’s truly disappointing, I almost thought to compliment them but just couldn’t.

    Recommended for Families

    The staff were incredibly welcoming. the meals were absolutely delicious with fresh ingredients. My kids loved the fun activities nearby that the hotel helped us find.

    It wasn’t cheap, but I’d say it was acceptable for what we received.

    good stay but some improvements needed

    The staff at reception were exceptionally friendly, which made check-in smooth. The breakfast spread was delightful with a variety of fresh options daily. I enjoyed the breathtaking sea view from my room, a truly lovely sight to wake up to each morning.

    The room was too small and the bathroom felt cramped.

    air conditioning issue

    Had an awesome trip with friends! We loved the laid-back vibe of the hotel, and the staff were super friendly. The views from the restaurant were stunning, and breakfast had a variety of options. Check out the local restaurants. they're just a short walk away.

    We faced some issues with the air conditioning not working in our room during our stay, which made it a bit uncomfortable at times.

    spacious room
    great breakfast
    no mini-fridge
    inconvenient setup

    Comfortable rooms with great breakfast options

    I recently spent one night in a deluxe double room non-sea facing, and I was pleasantly surprised. The room was spacious and spotless, featuring a giant four-poster bed with crisp linens. The breakfast was fantastic, offering a huge variety of options, and the staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure my comfort. the lack of a mini-fridge in the room was a bit inconvenient.

    great breakfast
    room convenience

    The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short stroll to the beach. With three kids in tow, we appreciated the spacious Deluxe Double Room with Sea View. The breakfast spread was delightful with fresh fruit and varied options each day.

    In my wife’s opinion, having a fridge in the room would make a difference.

    Great stay with awesome views

    Really enjoyed my time here! The room was spacious with a nice balcony and the views of the bay were stunning. Breakfast was fresh and had a range of options. The service was friendly too. Just wished the bed was a bit softer, but it was still comfy enough for a good night's sleep.
