Another lovely stay at the royal.room was brill with a smashing view ( thank you ). staff and amenities were top class as always.we look forward to our next visit.
We had a lovely stay, was upgraded to sea view due to there been a room available. It was a lovely spacious room, the Christmas decorations are beautiful this time of year. Nice bar area. Only thing i missed this year was the Christmas Coctails, they didnt seem to do any. I feel they were nice treat before. But otherwise we really enjoyed it all. Including the pool gym and sauna area. Thankyou
Easy to find, quiet and comfortable room, really good location to the beach and shops/restaurants.

Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff were nice and the place was great, the hotel is a bit old but we don’t mind old and quirky, It was a shame that the swimming wasn’t included for guests but we will be back again.
Excellent location- love this hotel. We go a few times a year. Love that it’s Pet friendly.
Only downfall- Disappointed at this visit as we are regular to the hotel it wasn’t as clean as usual.
