"We stayed in the Annexe which is a short walk from the main hotel. The room was clean and spacious and the bed was large but the shower is over the bath. We had a view of the sea and a balcony with outdoor furniture. Staff were friendly and helpful. We had half-board. The menu was varied and the dinners were excellent. Breakfast was help yourself with an extensive buffet. I couldn't work out how to use the Spa but it seemed that you needed to plan ahead and book in advance."
