Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is located in a great area, very convenient for boat landings and has beautiful grounds with colorful flowerbeds. The rooms in the cottages right by the hotel provided a relaxing atmosphere, though it was a bit unusual that there wasn't a TV. Service was not ideal, as some staff seemed disengaged, and it created issues with pet safety. Overall, the experience was decent, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
The hotel has a lovely ambiance with friendly staff, and the location is quite convenient for exploring the area. The rooms are basic but equipped with modern comforts. However, it does feel a bit crowded at times, and the dining options could improve, especially since the buffet setup isn't the same as it used to be.
The hotel is located in a stunning area with beautiful lawns and colorful flowerbeds, which made my stay nice. However, I found the rooms to be tired-looking and not ideal for anyone with mobility issues, as the access was a bit challenging. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the breakfast didn't quite meet my expectations and lacked variety.
The hotel had a fantastic location right by the jetty, making it a great starting point for exploring the area. While the rooms were comfortable and had a nice sea view, they felt a bit dark and were located down a not-so-great corridor. The staff was extremely friendly and went the extra mile to help us out. However, the dining experience was somewhat underwhelming, with the breakfast being just average. Overall, it's a solid choice if you're looking for value for money in a convenient spot.
The hotel has a great location with beautiful grounds and convenient access to boat landing-places, making it a lovely spot for walks. The staff was friendly and helpful, creating a warm atmosphere. Unfortunately, the room I stayed in was a bit basic and didn't quite meet my expectations in terms of value for the price. Dining options were decent, but nothing really stood out, and the morning buffet could use some improvement.
My stay at the hotel had its highs and lows. On the bright side, the location is truly great with beautiful gardens and a lovely pool area. The staff were friendly and professional, which made my holiday enjoyable. However, the room left much to be desired with its outdated decor and cleanliness issues. Overall, it's a decent place but not perfect, especially for those seeking a relaxing experience.
The hotel is located in a stunning area with beautifully kept grounds and a lovely pool. While the staff was super friendly and welcoming, the room I stayed in was a bit small and outdated for the price, and unfortunately, I also caught a bug that was reported going around. Overall, it offers good amenities but could use some improvements in room comfort and value for money.
I had an enjoyable stay at the hotel, which is ideally located close to the jetty and offers stunning views. The staff were friendly and accommodating, although there was a notable grumpy staff member that affected the overall atmosphere a bit. The room was comfortable but a bit dark, and the value for money could be better. Overall, it was a decent experience with some room for improvement.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel which offered clean and spacious rooms with a great view of the pool and gardens. The service was friendly and made my experience enjoyable, though the dining options weren’t quite up to par. The location was fantastic, being close to the beach and convenient for exploring the area. It's a decent value for money overall, but a few improvements in dining would make it even better.
The hotel has a beautiful location with stunning views and well-maintained grounds, but it falls short when it comes to room standards and dining experiences. The rooms are comfortable with nice private patios, and the service overall is friendly and professional. However, the dining options need improvement as some food items were unavailable or served cold.
