The hotel was a nice place to rest after a day of adventure outside. The rooms were very spacious but felt old and dingy, with a kind of musty smell. The kitchen facilities were a plus.

The hotel offers kitchenettes but the rooms are outdated and need a new coat of paint, making them very dull and dated. The lighting is poor and having an adjoining door to the neighbor's room was not ideal. On the bright side, the kitchenettes are well outfitted.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and serviced daily, which was great, but they were a bit outdated and dull. The staff were friendly and helpful, allowing us early check-in and late check-out for no extra charge, and lending us beach towels. The location was convenient, with easy access to Oistins and a large supermarket, but it could use some modernizing. The dining options were decent, and the facilities were satisfactory.

The hotel is ideally located, close to Oistins Fish Market and within walking distance of St Lawrence Gap. The rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated, and impeccably clean. The service was outstanding, with a slight inconvenience regarding luggage assistance. The central location offers easy access to local attractions. The dining experience was great for events, but missed opportunities for breakfast selection. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were great, really big, very clean, and very comfortable, but unfortunately, they were old and dingy and smelled kind of musty. The service was really good, with the staff being very helpful and a pleasure to communicate with. The location is fantastic, smack in the middle of Oistins and the city, giving a good balance of escape and convenience, but it needs modernizing. The dining was enjoyable with fresh fish, great for events, but the facility could use some updates.

My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were cozy and well equipped, contributing to a very relaxing stay. However, they remained damp no matter how long you left the door open after a shower, and the decor was outdated and could do with a new coat of paint, feeling very dull and dated. The location was great, convenient for exploring the town and not too far from local attractions. The service was so friendly and helpful, especially the front desk and housekeepers, who went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable.
