This was an absolutely amazing. The staff and the entire town were fabulous. Accommodation was superb and the views of the ocean just outside our room were the icing on the cake. The surrounding venues for hospitality were friendly and I completely recommend Swansea RSL for a great tasting and great value meals! If I could give The Waterloo10 stars I would! Amazing place and amazing value!

Great room.

A great place to stay, however it's at the opposite side off town to the only hotel, and it's own restaurant / bar is closed two days a week.
