Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The room had everything I could possibly need and the bed was extremely comfortable, just what I was expecting. Opting for the Superior sea view room was a great choice as it was beautiful and really comfortable. The location was perfect, enabling me to enjoy the beautiful sunshine while being a stone's throw from the seafront. The service was top-notch, creating a level of comfort that exceeded my expectations. The dining experience, especially the Irish soda bread, kept me going until dinner and was both healthy and tasty. Overall, a fantastic hotel with some minor drawbacks.
I've found a hidden gem at this hotel! The room was huge with two lounges, its own kitchen, and a bathtub in the bedroom, beautifully appointed although a bit on the small side. The service couldn't have been nicer, especially with a fantastic breakfast. The location is perfect, near the beach but not too close to the busy traffic, offering a peaceful stay. The dining experience was delightful with delicious options, and the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely lovely. The room was stunning when I walked in and had everything I could possibly need. The bed was extremely comfortable. The shower was excellent, which made my stay even more enjoyable. However, it might have been frustrating if I was staying for a longer time.
The hotel exceeded our expectations with its immaculately clean and beautifully decorated rooms. We had a quiet Sunday stopover and enjoyed the reasonably priced mini bar and ample mirrors in the room.
