breakfast met my expectations it was very good with a clean and well set out dining room.
the bed in my room was terribly uncomfortable i ended up rolling into the middle of the bed. the main door to my room had large gaps around the frame this let light in from the hallway.

great stay with fantastic sea views

spacious cornerbuffet stylesea view
my corner room was very spacious. breakfast is buffet style and i found enough variety to suit all tastes (i especially liked the pastries). the sea views were amazing from both sides of the corner room. the side window faced the north side beach and the front overlooked the sea.
the windows in my room did not open fully, this made it difficult to get fresh air.

the hotel provides tea and coffee in the room, a nice touch. a fan was available in the room (i appreciate this). this helped keep the room cool and comfortable .
Location

the hotel is situated directly on the sea front, offering immediate access to the beach. the hotel arranged our parking spot, and i had a super view over the bay. this made exploring the local area very easy.
