Relaxing and peaceful

We had a lovely time at Cardiff Hotel. The place was clean, and the staff were courteous and helpful. We had hot delicious breakfast every morning of different local foods. We got complementary water and juices every other day. Free beach shuttle took us to the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would go again. I would recommend this hotel to my friends and family. JB

Wayne

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Just as I imagined it to be, an old small hotel with much needed manicure care away from the central areas. The food was good, better than other larger hotels and the views out to the ocean is spectacular. This hotel is located on a small hill and away from the ocean. It does not offer entertainment but always host events there. The majority of the staff workers are HEART students. It is advisable to choose the meal package as there's no place close by to buy food independently.
