Really good Stay by the sea!

waterfront accesstidy roomexcellent comfortadequate shelf
The location offered fantastic access to waterfront activities, a REAL plus. I found the room tidy. The bed provided excellent comfort. The bathroom was reasonably well-appointed. I noted the shelf space as adequate for personal items.
The decor felt a LITTLE tired. Updating certain areas would improve the overall aesthetic.

The hotel's position right on the waterfront gave us immediate access to cafes. I liked restaurants and walking tracks. Sitting on the veranda with coffee was amazing. Live music events boosted the neighborhood's appeal.

Acceptable, but Some Issues

nice water temperaturefaulty liftmoving toilet seat
The pool water temperature was nice I guess.
The lift broke down and the lights went out I pressed the alarm but no one answered I was understandably panicked. The staff showed little concern for my welfare. The bathroom was also a bit tired the toilet seat moved when used.

Really good Stay with Sea Views

The room provided a super king bed with very nice bedding. I requested a full bathroom, and it met my expectations. I also appreciated the tea and coffee making tray.
I found the pillows to be hard. I will bring this up during my next visit so i can try different pillows.
Location

The hotel is located directly across from the beach and allows guests to hear the waves. It is also a short walk to the town center. The town center is now pedestrianised and easy to navigate.
