Great Hotel
Pros:

A lovely hotel with the friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever encountered!
Large rooms (we stayed in two different ones), not fancy, but well equipped, comfortable and clean. Towels and bedding were good quality. Thoughtful touches and generous. Breakfast was delicious, well cooked and plentiful. Nice bar for a drink and great location by the beach.
Cannot recommend highly enough!

Cons:

Nothing!

Nice location, clean tidy room, dinner ok.
Pros:

Nice location close to beach, clean tidy room.

Cons:

Staff were pushy about dinner times. Not sure why as only us and one other couple in whole dining room. Chicken well overcooked and was tough to eat.
