Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Waterside Hotel & Spa enjoys a lovely location right on the beach, offering spacious and modern rooms, some with spectacular sea views. Guests appreciate the modern, well-equipped bathrooms and the comfortable beds. The new spa is a highlight for many, with its beautifully designed and luxurious facilities; however, a few guests have felt the restaurant's atmosphere and food quality don't quite match the spa's luxury feel.

The room was super clean and modern! The staff members were helpful and friendly . The setting of the hotel is divine, offering beautiful views and tranquility. I could have stayed forever.

The spacious suite provided a peaceful retreat. I had an amazing view from the room. The food in the restaurant was lovely (I particularly enjoyed the breakfast options!). The staff members were cute and happy to help with any requests.
