Great pool, quite warm too! Lovely view from the room & the bar. Food was nice, service was slow though. Doesn't have room service, despite saying it does - I was told I could order in the bar & carry it up myself but I have a walking stick so not sure how I was meant to balance it. Also if my son was well enough to sit in the bar while they ordered & cooked his food,then we may as well just eat there (he wasn't well enough) Worst though was the lack of sleep due to the pillows - all 3 days I woke with the worst pain in my neck, despite trying to sleep in every position & try every pillow! Haven't had this issue in other hotels.

Could not recommend this hotel enough, we were here for 2 nights with a 4 year old. The family room was spacious and clean, staff were very friendly. The pool was a big hit for us, great location. The beach and everything was within walking distance. We will definitely be back.

Pleasantly surprised by how quiet this hotel was (no night-time hum from heating/air-con). Very clean rooms, a spacious gym (for a hotel), and a nice pool. Breakfast diverse, but the hotel might consider indicating allergens on its menus, and ensuring a wider range of choices for vegan/vegetarians and other special diets.

Clean, good food. Great location. Friendly staff.
Lovely hotel, is a bit dated but is clean and has everything you need. Although a bath in the family room would've been handy instead of just a shower. Good swimming pool and friendly staff. Food fresh and drinks were good. Think it was Jennifer who checked us in and she was a Godsend, a credit to the hotel. She was friendly, professional and very accommodating to our family. Good location to beach and amenities.

Overall, hotel a bit tired. Room fine and goid walk in shower. Reception staff and some others, notably Patsy, very good. However, some younger waiting staff in bar and restaurant sorely in needvof training on the job and customer service.
