A wonderful, relaxing few nights. Will definitely be back
Pros:

The sea view from our room was stunning. The security of doors to room corridor required a key card swipe which made us feel safe. Just a walk along a corridor to the lift straight into the restaurant was perfect as stairs are difficult for me. Staff were lovely and really helpful.

Cons:

Nothing

Amazing just love the place.
Pros:

We were there in may and retuned as we loved it so much! And got the same room haha. We love the balcony and upstairs in the superior family room and the views. The food and drinks are fabulous as is the eating and drinking areas. And the staff can’t do enough for you. This is our new favourite place and will probably be back before summer is over for another 2 nights.

Cons:

Nothing.

Bija labi.
Pros:

Laba atrašanās vieta, tīrs, labas brokastis.

Cons:

Nepatika tas, ka pie maniem logiem bija kautkāda ventilācijas sistēma, kas caur aizvērtu logu traucēja gulēt. Skaļa.
Laigan biju pasūtījis divas vienguļamās gultas, nācās pašam gultas bīdīt lai atdalītu.

Nice stay
Pros:

We had a pleasant stay overall. The room was clean, the bed was large and comfortable, and the sea view was lovely. We also appreciated the possibility of late check-in and the nice little touches such as complimentary toiletries and shampoo.

Overall, it was a decent stay with some positive features, but a few details could be communicated more clearly and made more convenient for guests.

Cons:

However, there were a few disappointments. A £100 deposit was required upon arrival, which was not clearly communicated in advance. The swimming pool and other leisure facilities close at 9 PM, and we could not find this information on the Booking listing. Breakfast starts only at 8 AM, which is quite late for guests with early plans, and there was no option to prepare a takeaway breakfast.
