Reviews and Ratings
I loved staying at this hotel for its close proximity to the beach and attractions while having a lovely garden view. The front garden was a nice touch, but the room had some issues with an air freshener placement behind the bed. The service was excellent, and the Sicilian pastries served were delightful.
This hotel is conveniently located right on the doorstep of a beautiful park and close to North Bay attractions. The rooms have a peculiar air freshener at the back of my bed, which may not suit everyone's taste. The service was satisfactory with some room for improvement. Dining offers self-service food options, but the price could be better. Overall, a decent choice if you value location over other aspects.
The hotel is in a lovely quiet area close to a park and the sea, making it a nice escape with attractions nearby. The service was top-notch, and although the rooms had a slight issue with a strong air freshener, the overall stay was pleasant. The dining experience offered fresh and seasonal products but with room for improvement in some areas.
