Our stay at The Connaught was mostly enjoyable with fantastic breakfast options and a lovely spa to unwind in. The rooms were clean and provided a comfortable space, although the parking situation could be quite frustrating at times with limited spaces available. While the staff were exceptionally polite and helpful, the strict parking policies left us a tad disappointed. Overall, it’s a lovely place to stay while enjoying the local beaches but be prepared for some inconveniences around parking.

Our stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location is excellent, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff were very accommodating. However, the rooms could use a refresh, with some features feeling dated, and there were disturbances from noise which affected our sleep. Overall, it has its charms, but some improvements are needed to enhance the experience.

Our stay at The Connaught was mostly enjoyable. The hotel had excellent spa facilities and a fantastic breakfast, which were definite highlights. However, while our room was quite luxurious, we experienced some issues with maintenance that detracted from the overall enjoyment of our stay. Still, the location was a short walk to the beach, and we found the value for money generally acceptable.

Our stay was quite a mix of highs and lows. The staff truly went above and beyond to assist us, making us feel welcomed throughout our visit, and the food was definitely a highlight with delicious and generous portions. However, we faced some challenges with noise disruption from neighboring rooms and the decor felt dated in our original room. Despite these drawbacks, the location was convenient for exploring the beach and nearby attractions.
