Beautiful hotel
Pros:

The hotel was right by the sea. With many restaurants and bars around. We only had breakfast at the hotel and that was great, alot of choice. The buses were very cheap to take you to the shops. Our room was lovely with air con and all usual facilities. Although it didn't has a kettle. Car park under the hotel for 16 euros a day which was easy to find and 3 floors.
The staff were very friendly and spoke great English.

Cons:

The only fault was that the shower was in the bath, which as we are a little older now was difficult.

Location was great and the rooms were comfortable and spotlessly clean.

The restaurant in the evening didn’t quite match the high standards of the hotel.
