Avoid
Pros:

Location

Cons:

Stayed in Room 106. the size was ok, but toilet/shower was very small. Sink was placed in a akward position in shower room just enough room to wash hand (impossible to wash your face as no room to lean your head). Tiny bugs in toilet. Tv cabinet/tv was placed just by the window obstructing the view (we booked a sea view room as advertised). Did not try food /bar as the receptionist didnt explain where it was and what were the timings. we went out for dinner. Difficult to find the parking space.

Don’t expect too much!
Pros:

My single room had a double bed!

Cons:

I was not impressed with the check-in process. Wasn’t until 3pm so a lot of people were waiting but the guy at the counter wouldn’t check anyone in until 3:00 on the dot which led to a queue. It took over a quarter hour til I got to my room. And I found the guy at the desk quite rude. This was not a good start.
Shower had to run for 15 minutes until I got hot water.
A bit expensive for what it was. Stayed in much better and closer to the town for cheaper.

Pros:

The staff were friendly, the hotel was across from the beach ⛱️ nice lounge area

Cons:

First night we arrived, we were shocked that the lights were to be turned off at 11pm, as we were told the boss didn't want the lights on after 11pm as it was too expensive. We had no one to help with luggage 20kg case the lift was out of order. We were on the 2nd floor. We had to use the torches on our phones to guide us to our room, which was really bad considering we had luggage to carry. The room was nice but very warm the window only opened a certain width as thwre was a lock on the window. As per description regarding free toiletries, there was no shower gel in the shower dispenser, I didn't bring some as I thought there would be some there. I had to buy shower gel shampoo & conditioner as thwre was none either. I have stayed in hotels which have complimentary soap, shampoo conditioner & shower gels. We did however have clean towels toilet rolls & soap in the dispenser. Overall I had a lovely few days holiday the weather was fantastic just a pity about the problems.

Pros:

Location .

Cons:

The stay was disappointing. The hotel needs better maintenance, and the overall experience did not meet expectations. There is definitely room for improvement.
