Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a stunning view and top-notch service. The rooms are spacious and modern but lack air conditioning. The breakfast is delicious but a bit pricey. The facilities are luxurious, but Wi-Fi comes at an extra cost.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is perfect, just steps away from the beach and close to everything you need. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff is incredibly welcoming. The only downside was being too close to the noisy bars, but overall, it was a fantastic experience.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, right in the heart of Avalon, making it so convenient to explore all the good activities on the island. The rooms were comfortable and had a lovely view. The service was top-notch, especially with a welcome drink upon arrival. However, the dining options were alright, and I wish there were more choices for breakfast.
