Drinks & Nightlife
Live entertainment every Friday & Saturday, Good Food, Restaurant very nice, Bar excellent, Good atmosphere, We highly recommend Genting, specially for Couples who will enjoy Dinner & Dance on weekends, Live Band until 11.30 at night, then DJ plays till very late, so you don't have to even play on the tables at all, but of course you can give it a try. You never know.
Hotel is located literarly just above the Casino in the direct line where going down is easy by following the stairs straight down but we would not recommend coming back same way right up those stairs in the middle of the night, so use a taxi if you can.

We highly recommend Padrino's. Just above the seafront overlooking the Thames this Family run restaurant won't dissapoint you. Some delicious pasta dishes but Fish, Steak, Chicken dishes and Pizzas too. Prices are good, food is superb.
Padrino's is around 10 minute walk from our place. Great for a pre-show meal before watching a show at the Pavilion Theatre but you will normally need to book in advance, especially on show days.

Akropolis Restaurant can be found easy, past Cliffs Pavilion Theatre and keep going another 2-3 minutes further. Lovely home cooked Greek food, always big portions and if you order the Meze you will find it difficult to walk back :) good selection of Greek Wine and Greek Beers, nice atmosphere, George and Christina will look after you.

Arts & Culture
Only 5-6 minute walk from our place, nice venue, big shows every week and definitely all weekends. You can have a pre-show meal with us and just walk it off to the Cliffs Pavilion or you can book a meal in their restaurant there.
Our recommendation goes in this order:
- nice relaxing pre-show meal with us then walk down to the Pavilion Theatre
- Book in advance one of the 3 Italian Restaurants (Padrino's, Picolo's or Flying Pasta) then walk up 3-4 minutes to the Theatre
- If you fancy some Greek Food then Akropolis Restaurant is on the same Road as the Theatre just 2-3 minutes away.
- You have to pre-book their restaurant at the Theatre as it gets very busy and you can have dinner there.
