This property is an old hospital recently (and very well) renovated, but is in reality a sanitorium/- convalescence place for seriously ill folk (many of which have had surgery) stumbling around bandaged, using walkers, wheelchairs, etc., helped by blue gowned nurses. The place has a clinical atmosphere with tiled floors and ceilings and a real rabbit warren.
It may well be a 3 star recuperation centre, but offers only mediocre "hotel" service, i.e. breakfast is the most basic possible, but coffee is ok. Open 0800 to 1000hrs and dishes never replenished after 0930hrs. The place is a canteen for any meal - there are no restaurants and meals are at set times. There are no bars and told no alcohol except in the outside establishment (that was now closed for the summer). The pool is only available during breakfast hours and from 1900hrs for 2 hrs as it is used for patient water therapy during the day.
We complained and got an upgrade to a "suite" with a loose bathroom sink and malfunctioning tap. Flooring was laminate or vinyl and bitterly cold underfoot, with no possibility of wiping ones' feet. The bed was circular with ill fitting sheets (from the 60's !) and very uncomfortable.
We were asked not to give a poor review and they gave my lady two massage sessions - we expected a masseuse, but it was 2 x 20 minutes in a vibrating water "bed".
Miles from anywhere, the beach, even in season, has no amenities, although the bracing sea air was in abundance & free.
Totally overpriced !
