My husband and I stayed for a week in over New Year 2012. Loved the ocean views, the balcony and going to sleep with the sound of the waves. The room was very clean and freshly decorated - if a little bland. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful both at the desk and in our room. I picked up a fragment of glass as I walked barefoot in the room and the staff were very prompt in supplying a dressing and thoroughly vacuuming the room. The location is great - right on the beach and in the town centre. Every morning we enjoyed heading out to try out the breakfasts at different cafes - which was also much cheaper than breakfast in the hotel. We have stayed here once before and would stay again.
Some disappointments included the charges for Internet - these days It is very common to have free wi-fi in hotels. The guest lounge was very sparsely furnished and at times partially closed off for private functions leaving a dingy and completely characterless area for guests to have social drink - would have expected a decent common area for guests in hotel of this size.
