Nice hotel. Staff very friendly. Room was nice if a little compact. Very clean. We had room 203 which was a dormer room so sloping ceilings. Not so good if your tall, particularly in the shower. Cant speak fo the other rooms though. Plenty of parking when we were there.

We have stayed at this hotel for the past 5 years and have seen the transformation that has occurred over recent times. My sister and I stayed with our elderly mother for 5 nights. I have to say that the staff at this hotel are exceptional. So friendly, kind and hard working. The half board menu was delicious and couldn’t fault the food. The rooms are of a high quality and whilst there was no availability this time for a mobility access room we found the ground floor room perfect for mums needs.

Need more than 3 disable parking bays. Disagree with 10% service charge being added, even for just a coffee. The service is slow in the dining area. Food good but expensive. Overall we had a great stay and would go again at some point. Room was great with sea view Znd balcony. Couldn’t ask for better.

I was not happy the hotel taking a service charge twice without asking if I wanted to pay one , especially as the charges for what we had I consider quite expensive,also as we were in a disabled room I thought a small frie might have been in room as we had medication ,I suspect they will say we could have requested one but it's the first hotel I have been in without one,the hotel is pleasant but very remote .

This is my second visit since the refurbishment a few years ago. Alas, my room was again missing a two pin socket for razor or toothbrush charging. Something I find very annoying. There is also no plug in the basin; leaving the tap running to wash seems to me to be a waste of water. The door again was far from sound proof, anyone talking in the corridor is very apparent. Other than that, the room was clean and comfortable, as was the bar and restaurant. Reception is quirky, a table in a room with a couple of people stationed at it feels odd and out of place, but it functions. The location is fabulous, right on the beach. However, as there is little competition around the price for a stay is higher than I would have hoped for. It claims to be a four star hotel, which in many respects it meets (IMHO), but the points made above do let it down slightly.
