We got married here in May. The staff were absolutely fantastic and took care of everything. The venue looked great and the food was really good. Our hotel room was huge and had lovely ocean views. We had a brilliant day and loved every minute. Would highly recommend this hotel.

I have just spent 2 nights here in a single room on the fourth floor. I have to be honest, I was a little nervous as to what to expect, especially as I am very fussy! I came with five other friends and we couldn't have picked better. We were very lucky that the sun shone all weekend so we... More

Stylish bar, restaurant, pool, with a touch of class at budget prices. Perfectly situated to be "away from the bustle" but near enough for a short walk into town. The rooms are clean, tidy and functional, but top marks to the staff who were very helpful and good company. It was a perfect base for playing some stunning local golf... More
