We loved the pool area/ bar with a nice view over the bay. We liked being slightly back from the strip and therefore less road traffic. The breakfast was outstanding with an excellent hot and cold selection. A nice touch with Bloody Mary and bubbles to enjoy fresh salmon with! The staff made the difference, being met by Jaco, Brian and Ben on arrival, offered a complimentary drink whilst doing check in around the pool. The use of natural materials in the rooms really made them feel thought through. This is a hidden gem who we will tell all our overseas guests to come and stay rather than the traditional Bay Hotel and Marly.
