Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location on Sandown beach, offering a seaside escape close to the water. The rooms are adequate, but some show wear and tear issues. The dining options are diverse, with Japanese dishes available. The facilities are decent, providing what you need for a comfortable stay.
The hotel is in a prime location, facing the beautiful Sandown beach and offering easy access to the town's restaurants. The rooms are well-equipped with en-suite facilities and a small but functioning TV, but some are in poor condition with bunk beds missing slats. The service is friendly, although there are some improvements to be made in housekeeping. Overall, it's a good value for the money with certain areas needing attention.
The hotel is ideally located right on Sandown beach with an amazing view of the sea from the bay window. The rooms, although missing slats on the bunk beds as seen in the pictures, are equipped with a small but fully functional TV and en-suite facilities. The service, particularly the friendly manner of the staff, stands out, while housekeeping is efficient. Dining is included and features Vienna Beef hot dogs. Overall, a great value for money stay with a beachfront experience.
