"The room looked clean and tidy a bit basic, but ok. Did smell strong of bleach. Staff very friendly and helpful.Breakfast very nice and tasty. Bar looked okay we didn't use it. There's a swimmingpool inside and was warm enough to enjoy a swim. But if you forget your towel for the swimmingpool you got to pay to hire them"

"We enjoyed our stay overall. The room was clean and stylish, and the nearby beach was lovely and well maintained. Dinner was very good, with generous portions for children. However, the pool seemed over-chlorinated, which caused our child’s eyes to become sore. The breakfast was rather disappointing and not worth the price, and the café staff could have been more helpful and attentive."

"Our room was lovely and spotlessly clean but our bathroom was tired and dated and lacked anywhere to put our own items. However, the hotel’s situation was stunning and worth every penny of the cost. The wonderful scenery and views as well as a great sized heated pool with immediate access to a beautiful beach meant that there was really no need to leave the hotel."
