Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a great location, close to the beautiful golden sands of Austinmer beach, with lovely beaches nearby. The room design and views were impressive, but the tea making facility was not replenished. The service, especially at the reception, was exceptional, although some staff members were not adequately trained in customer service. The dining options, including vegetarian dishes, were satisfying. Overall, it's a cozy place with good value for money.
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The rooms offer lovely balconies and provide amazing water views, although it would be great to have more comfortable chairs. The service, particularly from the receptionist, was exceptional. The location is superb, just a short walk to a quiet beach, making it perfect for nature lovers. The dining experience, though not included, was centered mainly around seafood, catering to diverse tastes. The facilities overall were in good condition, ensuring a pleasant stay.
The resort offers a unique experience in a secluded, nature-filled location. Although the rooms lack comfortable seating and have poor bathrooms, the cooking facilities are a convenient touch. The service is a mix of exceptional and untrained staff, with varied experiences in housekeeping. The resort is perfectly situated close to nature, but could improve on local dining options. The included dining experience featuring smoked guinea fowl adds a distinctive touch to the stay.
