Matt was the most welcoming and helpful host. The Ocean Mist was so unique to stay in and was extremely well maintained. We enjoyed settling in with a drink on the upper deck. The night host Danny couldn't do enough to ensure we had an extremely early breakfast before our flight. Highly recommended.

Amazing room, a view, every little detail in the room. Sparkling clean. The breakfast in the cafe connected to the hotel (The Huxley), a lot of options, all taste perfect, and the staff is very friendly. We also went to their bar a bit further the road - nice and quiet, 20% off on food for the guests. All in all - we loved our stay!
