great location, comfortable, sunny and new hotel right across the street from the beach. every single room has a view! it's built on a semi circle - the back side is the hall, which faces the parking lot. the front side are the rooms, and it faces east - to the rising sun!
there are laundry services on floors 2 and 4 and also internet service on floor 2 (dial up - yuck). modern decor. I very much liked this hotel and would stay there again.
every single room faces east - to the beach and the rising sun!
directly across the street is a fabulous spa - I got a massage and there are several outdoor hot pools to choose from - absolute bliss!
Scenic Hotel Te Pania: Breathtaking beach breaks - Every room has a view
Satisfaction:

The hotel looks pretty regular from the outside till you check into you room. Just along Marine Parade is a view of the ocean that is to die for. You'll instantly be refreshed! Rooms are indeed comfortable with air conditioning, mini bar with coffe & tea making facilities, and internet dialup access. Services include wireless hotspot, laundry and fitness centre but not certainly the ever warm, welcoming and accomodating staff. They are graciously polite. No smoking in the lobby by the way. Lobby has a bar and neat chic-looking restaurant with a view of the coast. Food is alright. Located a walk away from the art district and on the weekends, markets set up just down Marine Parade which are worth checking out. Opposite the hotel is a spa with outdoor and heated swimming pool. There's also a little cafe there. Access to the beach any time.
Spactacular view, great staff. Really great staff.
this hotel looks oh so beautiful from the outside and it has very luxurious rooms too! the view from the room is fantastic with sights of the beach with dark sand just before your eyes! i definitely would like to go back there for a stay!
