The hotel has some challenges, particularly with the dining experience and service efficiency.

The hotel is situated right on the seafront, making it a lovely getaway for the weekend. The rooms we stayed in were bright and airy with great amenities, and the breakfast offered a fantastic selection. However, the experience was marred by some issues with the bar service, which could use improvement, especially for families. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, but a few details fell short of expectations.
