Pros:

Location is the best thing about this hotel.

Cons:

Minimal choices available for coeliacs. There were only a couple of waiting staff on for entire restaurant at breakfast. Whilst they were lovely, service was slow and unorganized.

We had a lovely time apart from the room change.
Pros:

Closeness to the beach. Outdoor pool and pleasant staff.

Cons:

They changed a family room to 2 rooms with adjoining door. They said if you don’t want your booking changed you need to say so when booking. Seemed a bit strange.
