Great for a family stay, nice breakfast, clean, airy, enjoyed the social buzzing happy hour. Pool was a nice touch- open from 5am so perfect for the transatlantic arrivals.
Location is brilliant- very close to all the amenities- Top Gun Bar practically next door!
Highly recommend.

The amenities such as the evening reception and resort credit were a very nice surprise but our favourite part of the hotel was the location. It was so close to the water and some great little shops. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.
