"Nice older hotel with amazing sea views. The staff were great and helpful. The only drawback for us was the bar fell like an after thought. Limited comfortable seating to enjoy a drink as the room where the bar is located serves and an overflow area for dining and a barman that disappeared for long periods of time leaving guests waiting for drinks. Would I stay here again? Yes I would."
