Nice location across the road from the beach and nice room. However in summer we found the room to be very hot overnight which significantly impacted our sleep and although there was a small fan it didn't help much as just circulated hot air. Some proper aircon would be expected for a 4 star hotel. We also found the pillows to be a bit uncomfortable as they were too flat and also some long black hairs not belonging to us in the bathroom. The shower curtain over the bath was also the kind you couldn't stop from wrapping around you while showering and fell off too (hopefully this is changed or cleaned in between guests). Overall a nice room in a nice location with a good selection of bar/restaurant food. But just a few small touches that could be improved on at this price point as it is 4 star.

Very comfortable and quiet. Beautiful view from the veranda. Easy to walk into town. A nice variety of food offerings and helpful front desk staff. They do a lot of weddings which makes the vibe a bit odd at times with guests seemingly being put off by beachgoers while they're in their wedding outfits and it closes the veranda to guests for weddings. It is a large part of their business but an alternative location for guests to enjoy during weddings would be a nice addition.
