Although the location was good with a lovely veiw from the front of the hotel I would not stay again
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Hotel was a little tired in need of some TLC. Stairs needed a vacuum.
Room was very hot did have a fan but made no difference to the temperature.
We had an inland room view was awful looking out onto a small court yard which was dirty with dead plants and broken up paint on the floor and walls.

Pros:

The position of the hotel is fantastic looking over the bay. The outside pool and seating area was brilliant.

Cons:

I found the meals in the restaurant were over priced for how it was presented and what I received especially the sweet. But the breakfast was excellent.

Lovely location, comfortable sea facing room but let down by the restaurant.
Pros:

The location with sea views was excellent. Beautiful views well maintained grounds with an outside pool with plenty of sun beds. Staff were very friendly and attentive and did their best under the circumstances (weather was hot during July 2026).

Cons:

The restaurant was very warm with limited air circulation (door slightly ajar) although we were having an exceptional heat wave. Buffet breakfast was poor, one bread option was a cheap sliced loaf. Limited yogurt, fruit and pastries but, the cooked to order breakfast was very good. We had an evening meal in the outside bar/seating area which was very expensive and poor and certainly not “fine dining” for the cost.
