Fantastic place to stay, bigger complex than we thought. Room was nice, staff were pleasant. Couple of pubs and a nice cafe basically all next door. Would stay again!

Lovely hotel. We really enjoyed the big jacuzzi in the room. It was within easy walking distance of the beach, the zoo, and several very good restaurants. The staff was friendly and the amenities were great. I’d stay again.
