Beachfront Hotel
Room was decent, but some in the annex have no beach view. Staff was very quick and helpful when we had to change rooms due to an issue with some outlets in our first room.

Shining Star Beachfront Accommodation
The lady at reception, Kym? Gave us a great welcome and we particularly appreciated that when she noticed my wife's walking disabilities, changed the booking so that we had a chalet with a ramp for easy access. In spite of the wet and windy weather, we were snug in a very nicely appointed room.
