Superb location good range at breakfast including alternative milks. Staff were super helpful with any queries. But as mentioned by others decor is outdated, but doesn’t take away from the experience. Kids especially loved the pool which is a good size and lifeguards fantastic at keeping everything fun, safe and controlled. Would definitely revisit!

The hotel is well situated with a beautiful sea view. The staff were excellent & the rooms were clean. The only downside was that our room did not have air conditioning & we stayed on a very hot weekend. Although a fan was provided it made for a very uncomfortable night.

The location & view from the balcony with a sea view is great but the room & hotel generally is very dated. Bearing in mind the cost we paid for 1 night, not good value. We were very underwhelmed. Staff were friendly enough though.

the room was clean, laid out nice and a good size, we did spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the windsurfers surfers swimmers and all the other activities, rugby match on the beach one evening. the breakfast was very good, a excellent selection of hot and cold options plus the healthy option as well, one winge the toaster was under powered had to put the slices through twice to get any colour on it. all the staff we had dealings with were very helpful, even the maintenance man who gave us directions when we were a bit lost. all in all a enjoyable short stay.

Location, location, location… that is the hotel’s real selling point. Dated, in desperate need of refurbishment, with slapdash housekeeping and rooms needing a deep clean. An unremarkable breakfast and distinctly nonchalant staff.

Location was amazing. Staff friendly and polite. Food wonderful. What lets it down is, the moment you walk upstairs towards accommodation it all seems rather tired. Walking into the room felt like we had gone back 30 years. Room was very dated. Hadn’t seen a shower curtain in a hotel bathroom for decades!!

Location was fantastic, room was clean but could do with modernising as it was a bit dated. Staff were very good. Value for money probably not but once it's been shown a bit of love and attention it would be well worth it.
