Another very enjoyable stay.
Pros:

This is the 4th year we have stayed here. The hotel enjoys superb sea views and has a beautiful safe sandy beach with its own stepped access.
The breakfast is very good and evening meals varied and generous.
Staff work hard and are always friendly and helpful.

Pros:

Spacious room, clean, bright and modern decor. Lovely shower room. Delicious breakfast and friendly staff.

Cons:

With windows open in our room, smells from the kitchen extractor fan filled the room. Cleaning staff seemed to meet outside our room and were quite loud before 8:30am.
