7.0 out of 10, Good, (10 reviews)
"Brand new hotel with a nice ambience. However not a fan of open plan hotel room as in no door or wall for the bathroom. The shower cubicle and the toilet cubicle each have a frosted glass door but that’s all. The “wardrobe” is open area hanging rack. The roof top pool is nice but woefully small area for the size of the hotel. Bar area on level 12 is really nice. Watermelon and goats cheese salad is excellent."

8/10 Good
"Spent two nights here. The location was perfect for what we needed, the hotel facilities are great, and being on the beach was another plus. Our room was a little dated but was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Outside our room had a strange smell in the corridor level 2. but apart from that had a great stay. Lastly all the staff were pleasant and helpful"
