Westbeach Holiday Apartments

Westbeach Holiday Apartments

8/10 Good
"Newly constructed property and all the furnishings and appliances also new. Had a balcony and a partial ocean view which was very much appreciated. The building next door is abandoned which invites some unwanted birds and décor but the competitive price for the clean and modern apartment makes up for it. Good selection of restaurants and small grocery stores close by and excellent fish and chips at Atlantic Bay fish and chips. Parking was ample during our visit and the weather was kind making for a great stay overall."

Watersmeet Hotel

8/10 Good
"This hotel is in a fantastic location with beautiful walks along the shore. The hotel is clean, sophisticated and comfortable. The staff were almost all very friendly, kind and helpful. The food was very nice - excellent breakfasts especially. The only downsides are that the pool is freezing. Also information on the room specification was misleading ‘shower/bathtub combination’ logically made me think we would have a bathtub with a shower over the top. As a part of an expensive seaview room, I really wanted a bath and the information given made me believe this is what we would have instead of the shower which I found in our room. Otherwise I would not have booked that room. I was told on arrival by the hotel manager that I should have made a special request for this before arriving (which made it seem like this was my fault). She told me that there was nothing she could do about it because they were fully booked and that next time, I needed to request this to avoid being disappointed. No other attempts to make up for this or to at least accept that the information given had been misleading were made. The rest of the kind and welcoming staff and our stay there made up for this rude and unkind interaction and we had a nice time but this did taint the trip for us and better customer service could have avoided us feeling disappointed and told off."
