Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning views of the bay and has beautiful rooms with modern furniture and fresh towels. The service is top-notch, with great attention to detail and a variety of amenities provided. Dining with a fantastic estuary view is a highlight, but the high prices may not suit all budgets.
I had the most incredible stay at the hotel, with a fantastic view over the estuary from our 2 bedroom suite. The rooms were luxurious, and I enjoyed watching a Netflix movie on the sumptuous sofa while taking in the stunning views. The service was exceptional, giving great attention to every detail. The location was unbeatable, right on the seafront with breathtaking views. The dining experience offered every conceivable option, complemented by a fantastic view over the estuary.
