Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Small property, limited facilities — With only 20 rooms, the hotel is compact – don't expect extensive resort grounds or multiple dining venues.
- Value rating slightly below other categories — Guests rate value at 7.4, lower than rooms and service – you might find similar beachfront options at a comparable price.
- Potential room issues — One guest reported finding a tick in their first room, which was concerning, though they still recommended the hotel.
- No pets allowed — If you're travelling with a pet, this isn't the place – the hotel doesn't allow them.
