Boro Bay Hotel

8/10 Good
"Clean very spacious room, beautifully furnished, big bath, hot water available. The staff were friendly and helpful. The property is on an esplanade. The beach is across the road. I would have given this a 5 were it not for minor opportunities for improvement ie box of tissues, hand towel and face washer weren't provided. But the price I paid for the room, amenities, and surroundings, it was a bargain. Will come back."
