Mixed Feelings About the Hotel Stay
friendly staffdated furniture
The staff were friendly and accommodating .
The room looked quite dated with mismatched furniture. This makes the hotel unsuitable for people with mobility issues or families with babies. I booked six months in advance, and I expected a lower-level room.

Fair stay overall
helpful staffgreat locationclosed restaurantclosed swimming pool
I found the staff great and very helpful. The location proved perfect as it allowed a close walk to the beach. I also noticed a great sports bar just opposite the hotel. The value for money seemed really good to me.
I discovered that the restaurant was closed, with no prior notice. The swimming pools were also closed and I was not given notice. I had to change rooms due to no hot water in the first room.
