Our Opinion

An impressive beachfront hotel offering a colourful stay with high standards of comfort and service. Children should feel at home, ensuring a relaxing holiday for everyone.

 
 
NOTE:  There is some building work going on near the entrance of the Sofitel by the driveway. They are building a new block of rooms and the area has been screened off. However, it can be seen from certain areas within the hotel but disturbance is being kept to a minimum.
