We booked a room for 2 days thinking there was kitchen as the amenities mentioned kitchen, microwave. But when we got there we got a very small room even without a microwave and there was no closet. It was very deceiving. Manager did keep us in a different room in Day 2.

Really good Hotel. Large rooms, with views over the beach and sea. Location is excellent and amenities good. Staff were very helpful and the piece that moves this Hotel to another level is the extra little things……such as free cycles, beach equipment and speaking events put on for hotel residents. Would recommend
