Sea View Garden Hotel

I was looking for a relaxing getaway, and without hesitation I chose Sea View Garden Hotel—the place I’ve trusted for years. The front desk staff were incredibly friendly and upgraded me to a suite with zero hassle—so comfortable that I almost wished my little one could’ve experienced the family-friendly amenities too. The bathroom was spacious and well-designed, with clear signage for the shower system. The bathrobe felt luxurious—like slipping into a cloud—and the Dyson hairdryer came with multiple attachments, showing just how thoughtful they are about details. Watching the sunset from the room on New Year’s Day was pure magic. Breakfast was a bit busy during peak hours, but there were plenty of staff on hand, which impressed me more than most hotels I’ve stayed at. One small downside: the indoor pool is quite small and filled with seawater—definitely salty enough to make your eyes water! But honestly, it’s such a tiny gripe in an otherwise flawless stay. This hotel delivers comfort, service, and charm in spades.
