    The location was fabulous-right on the beach with fabulous views all around. Reception staff were courteous and helpful. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean and the bathroom was especially nice.

    Stunning location - right on the beachfront with an amazing view to wake up to! We booked a suite for our 1 night which was massive and very well equipped. Breakfast was very nice but there were a small number of waiting staff so took a bit of time.
