The Grove Seaside Hotel

We only stayed one night as our other booking could not accommodate an extra night, but what a little hidden gem the Grove Seaside Hotel was. Located down a narrow road and along the sea front the hotel was easy to find. There appeared to be a few tavernas close by and hotel had its own parking which as we had a car was a real bonus. Staff at reception and the pool bar were very helpful and friendly despite the fact we were only staying one night. Great cocktails and cold beer were served with little snacks, which was a nice touch. We ate dinner at the hotel, unusual for us but enjoyable. Like breakfast it was buffet style with a good selection although the eggs at breakfast were very over done. The beach and sea is just steps away so it’s a great location. The pool bar run a beach service of food, drinks and snacks on the beach from a limited menu. Although, anything you ask for not on the menu seemed to be available. The sea was like a mill pond in the morning with fish swimming around which showed how clean it was. Very safe swimming. More choppy and fun in the afternoon so more care is needed but there is also a life guard on duty. The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a side sea view and a tiny balcony. The bathroom looked tired and needed a refurb. Hence the 4 stars. The hotel is literally steps away from the Stoney beach so beach shoes are useful. There’s also path over the stones and a ramp into the sea which will save your dignity setting in and out of the water. It looked like two school trips arrived the day we were there so we were glad to be leaving but we enjoyed our stay and would consider it for a future trip as long as no large groups were booked in.

Very pleasent hotel and staff, veriaty of meals, on the beach with ensured sunbeds and umbrella, very good price/value ratio, free parking, spatious rooms, very clean and high higienic standars, simply very good recommendation!
