We stayed 3 nights and the first morning we had no hot water when we went to shower before 8.45am and it hadn’t got hot by 9.30am when we went out. The 2nd day we were out from early morning until gone 4pm and the room had not been serviced they eventually turned up at 5.20pm to do it. There was a dirty screwed up towel in the cupboard when we arrived which my husband placed in the shower tray when we left, two chairs on balcony but no table and a pot full of cigarette butts ( we don’t smoke). There were a number of plastic bottles blowing around outside(it was very windy) but the cleaning staff just walked past them. We were offered a free breakfast for the lack of hot water which was nice but they need to change the coffee machine it was awful coffee. Would not stay again
