Surf Side Hotel

8/10 Good
"Jason on reception was very helpful and guest friendly. Loved the amenities and being on the beach. Breakfast, wine social and cookies were awesome.....things like these really made our stay that bit more special. Room was clean and well decorated. Our only "room for improvement" would be that due to the humidity ( i realise its the beach in summer) but the room did smell very moldy and the wall behind the air conditioner was soft and caving. The outdoor pool could have been vacuumed out to since there was a lot of sand in it. These small things would not stop me staying here again as the pluses outweighed the minuses."
