Lovely little hotel staff really friendly lovely little pool and area if you don't fancy the beach or for us great on our last day so we didn't need to go far. Having the little kitchen in the studio was great for a quick cuppa on the balcony at Breakfast time. Air con and massive ceiling fan in the room was great too, nice big walk in shower.

Great room, only thing that let it down was that it was next to the kitchen extractor fans which went on between 6,30 and 7 each morning and went off about 18.30, wasn’t a problem as I didn’t spend that much time in the room, very noisy neighbours got 2 nights but again not really the hotels fault, great little cafe for breakfast and lunches shame it wasn’t open later (food closed at 6 drinks 6.30) Would definitely stay here again x

Stayed 26/12/25 - 01/01/26. From the moment I got there, the greeting and the smile from Cherish was very welcoming; she was always attentive to anything we needed. The room was clean with fresh towels and the bed was quite comfortable. Also shout out to Devon the evening staff, who came right away with a request that I had for my dad. Great location, very good for the rate and I will definitely stay there again.
