Great VFM
Pros:

The hotel exceeded my expectations by some way. Very family orientated, with well thought out indoor and outdoor facilities for children. Friendly reception, serving and housekeeping staff, who appeared to have one aim: guest satisfaction. My grandchildren and I will return.

Cons:

Nothing.

A nice stay but wouldn’t rush back.
Pros:

Great location.
Good breakfast.
Family rooms very good with great sea views.

Cons:

The Swimming pool was very cold for little ones.
Sauna was running also at a low heat.
Understaffed a long weight for food on ordering at breakfasts.
Not a lot on the food menu.
A jam sandwich for kids @ £7.50 is also not what you want to be paying at a family hotel.
