The hotel is in a fantastic location, just a short drive to the beach and an easy walk to the Gateway shopping centre. My room was spacious and impeccably clean. I loved the breakfast; it had a great variety and was always hot and delicious. The pool area was peaceful, perfect for relaxing with my family.

We loved the location of the hotel. It was just a short walk to the Gateway shopping centre and a quick drive to the beach. The cleanliness was impressive, as our room was tidied up daily. We also enjoyed the friendly staff, especially the Indian receptionist who always greeted us with a smile. The heated pool area was a hit with the kids!
