decent stay with minor drawbacks

bedroom upgrade golf course tasty breakfast lacking extras caramel wafer faulty door
the bedroom upgrade with a golf course view was so good. ceiling to floor windows provided special views. breakfast had plenty choice and everything tasted very tasty.
i felt underwhelmed by the lack of extras in the suite. standard caramel wafer biscuits were the only treats. the door to the living room did not close properly.

a perfect romantic escape!!!

lovely location corner window warm welcome
The hotel location is special, offering easy walks to the shops and the nearby beach. our king room was gorgeous with a corner window. from there, we enjoyed the beach views and the golf course, perfect to watch from the comfy sofa. we even brought our wee dog, and she received a warm welcome. It was like home.
during check-in, i noticed a slight delay. with a group arriving, it took some time to assign rooms, possibly due to limited staffing at that moment.

superb location comfortable room large towels slow service inexperienced staff bar area
The location is superb. The hotel is very close to many attractions. I found the room to be well furnished and comfortable. Large towels were available in the bathroom.
The service was slow. Staff seemed inexperienced. I had to remind them of missing items multiple times. There was a wedding taking over the entire bar area , with little offer of alternatives.
