Beautiful location but a little disappointed
Pros:

Location
Staff

Cons:

The garden facing room is actually facing the road..
The first room we were allocated was right next to very noisy kitchen fans/equipment
As a light-sleeper,and just expecting the quiet of the beach.. disappointing
Was given a different room
Wish they’d rather given us a choice to upgrade to sea view room..
Rooms not well laid out
Furniture refurbishment needed
Very steep stairs to rooms upstairs
Such an amazing location-the downstairs is so stunning was just expecting the rooms to equal this

Great stay
Pros:

Loved the location, very central to everything and very friendly staff.

Cons:

Could do with an upgrade - some of the furniture and areas are dated. Been like this for a while - perhaps some cash injection and a clever decorator could do wonders.

They moved us upstairs on our last day to a bigger quieter room
Pros:

The location. The view. The public areas

Cons:

We were given a small room downstairs next to the tv/bar. Looking into the parking. It was incredibly noisy. .
