Good room decent breakfast but TV didn’t work with constant distortion and interference and the heating was turned up late evening so that the room was uncomfortably warm to sleep in.

Clean and tidy, the room itself could have done with some aircon as my room was incredibly hot. The gym could use some free weights but other than that fantastic.

Adequate

Location is excellent, staff are friendly, the rest is average. The room could benefit from a refurb, especially the bathroom. Inland views were poor (fire exits, bins, pigeon droppings). Breakfast was adequate, fresh fruit could have been fresher.

Room was incredibly hot, weather about 22 degrees during our stay so not overly hot. Room was impossible to keep cool. Service in main restaurant was good but on the terrace bar was terrible. Nice view from the outside area.

The attitude of staff when you asked a question.Seemed an air of secrecy about the reservations of tables in the di ning room.They definitely did not want to discuss the seagulls roosting outside our window and the unhygienic droppings every where.

Onsite parking was perfect, especially as it was a motorbike holiday. Felt secure and safe. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, especially the door man who was always eager to help with a smile. Food was great and the room perfect. The pool was warm and at the time of my stay, not too busy. Highly recommended and will return.
