Very good apart from the breakfast.
Pros:

Lovely big room. Large window (which opened) with view of golf course and sea beyond. Large walk in shower.

Cons:

Breakfast wasn’t very good. Mainly hot option which was buffet, so standing around for quite some time.
Only fruit was apples pears and plums. No fruit salad or prepared fruit. Only Yog was plain. Told to add jam to flavour it. No rolls, only supermarket type sliced bread for toasting. Very small pastries (2bites), but nice. Breakfast ended at 9.30.

Fantastic location. Nice big rooms with sea views.

Cons:

Rooms are cheaply decorated with poor furnishings and beds etc. Breakfast was disappointing - no fruit, porridge had to be ordered. Dinner was acceptable but nothing special.
