Hotel was lovely. Easy free parking. Situated right night to a small mall where we had dinner in a restaurant on the seafront. This was great. Room was large and so was the bathroom. Windows opened fully to show sea and pool view. Only stayed one night. The only thing I didn’t enjoy was breakfast. This looked like it would be lovely but didn’t taste great, particularly the pancakes and coffee.

Wonderful views
Superb location and lovely room on top floor. Outside pool was deserted but indoor pool full of kids. Nice peaceful sunbathing 😎. Staff were so helpful although a little slow at breakfast. Casino has smoking and non smoking areas which is good and I paid for the stay with my winnings 🤑

The standard of the hotel has dropped significantly. The curtains did not close properly. There some tv channels that were not playing. The bed side lamps were not working. All of the above were reported, but nothing was done. Lastly, at the dinning hall during breakfast you are made to wait because it is full and yet there's a space where they could prepare for more guests. The experience there was 3/10.

It is an nice hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious. They are under staffed in the breakfast area or the staff are.very well managed. The assistant manger was excellent. She resounded personally to some feedback I gave about the state of the gym equipment. And gladly extended by check out time. I would happily recommend it as a place to stay in PE
