We found it whilst walking along the seafront, had lunch and all was excellent and reasonable prices. Nothing to criticise at all.

Booked a table for 7pm. Just as well we did as it was packed. Lovely menu with plenty of choice. Paella was excellent. Hand-stretched pizzas looked nice too. Not cheap but very good. Didn't have room for dessert. Asked for a glass of tap-water with our beers and wine and were given a carafe for the table.

Friendly Staff , Great Breakfast , Easy parking , Great location . Stayed for 6 nights in September, must admit the weather was great during the stay, which always helps a visit . Vincent was great from the first meeting , helping with a parking app that did not want to work for me . We had 3 evening meals in the Waterfront during the stay which were all delicious . I chose the smallest bedroom in the hotel ,would advise you to choose a larger one . But I did not really spend much time in it other than sleeping . Its an old building so came with a few quirks , the shower was interesting one of those that goes from cold to scalding in a second ,I worked out the setting very quickly. Great break in a flat nice setting just across from the beach . many thanks to all the staff for contributing to a great holiday . .

Family group had breakfast on a Sunday morning. The staff were ok although had trouble finding a table for 7 on an empty terrace. Breakfast menu was good and food was good but not great. The view over the beach is lovely and I’m sure as a hotel guest you probably get better service. Shame.
