Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Facilities rated below average — The hotel’s facilities score is notably lower (5.0) compared to other categories, suggesting the property may feel dated or limited in certain areas.
  • Comfort and general experience are modest — Comfort rating is 6.6 and General 6.9, indicating that while the location and service shine, the overall room comfort and general stay experience may not match the price point.
  • Check-in is limited to late afternoon — Check-in begins at 16:00 and ends at 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals.
  • Prices are on the higher side — With rates from £737 per night, the hotel sits at a premium level for the area, which may not appeal to budget-conscious travellers.

“The hotel sits right across from the beach. The staff were wonderfully kind and professional. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the sea bass at Quinn's was the best I've had in ages. I'll be back.”

“Fantastic location, close to everything I needed. The beach towels and reserved section with complimentary chairs were a big bonus. Jordan at the front desk was superb — always smiling and helped me check in early. The gym was clean with Peloton bikes, and the rooftop pool had amazing ocean views.”
