    I had to check-in late but was fine - hotel had contacted me to check then texted details of room number and where key would be.
  • Juliette

    I booked the room with the sauna with optimism that I would get back into yoga in our holiday - however, I didn't get as far to use it. Regardless of this, the Beachcomber was an absolutely excellent choice. Not only was it in a prime location,...

    Right across the park but not far from the beach although you need to walk about 15-20 minutes on either direction.

    Reception greeting was efficient and friendly and the personal guidance to our room was a refreshing reminder of how service used to be! Greatly appreciated. Lovely location also- near the water but quiet off the main part of the road.
