Absolutely incredible place. The free breakfast is fantastic value, the rooms are incredible at an affordable price. This is one of the best rooms I have stayed in and I have been in some very high price hotels which replicate no where near the same value.

If you want romance or just a sneaky weekend away then this is the place. Clean, comfy rooms, add a touch of the romantic packages and it’s all worth it. Beautiful views of the sunset, sunrise and during the day. Don’t forget to add a massage it’s all worth it.
