We had a great anniversary trip here, a great deal on the Ocean View room. The tide was very low however and not much water can be seen. One of the further hotels from the main esplanade but a great walk! Lovely service

View from the room looks really good. It is 1km walking distance to everything including bars restaurants ferry supermarket and public swimming pools.
1 dollar day pass bus is available and there is a stop behind the hotel.
But if you do not want to walk for hundreds meters or 1km, the location is not good for you.
