A great location on the Esplanade. The bungalows are very well equipped, with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. Loved the outdoor deck area, lush gardens and pool. The 24 hour reception is also great and staff very helpful and friendly.

Nice renovated room and very clean. Friendly staff and parking was easy. Breakfast was ok. When I arrived at the buffet it was already out of a lot of options half an hour before closing time. There was some noise from the bar/pub just behind the hotel (not all rooms are having this issue). In any case the hotel is very nice just some smaller issues that could be solved easily.

Nice location, and reception was friendly and helpful. Loved a green cheek conure “pickle” that greet you at the front desk. The room was clean but very small for three adults (triple room), and sink stopper was stuck and it was hard to remove to release the water, that needs to be fixed.
