Better places to stay
Cons:

We had to leave early to join a tour and were promised breakfast packs to take away. No one was around by the time we had to leave and all food prep places were locked and no staff to be found. Disappointing.

Pros:

Lovely located in the middle of the town, I could see the sea from my bedroom,the food is well priced delicious , served in big portions and they do room service. Their omelette served as a breakfast choice was lovely. My bedroom was spacious and beautifully decorated. The staff is always friendly and they go out of their way to help and accommodate you.
The lounge is well furnished and you have access from the lounge tothe shell shop to buy the most beautiful shell's

Cons:

They did not want to sell the place

Would not recommend
Pros:

Rooms decent but not great.

Cons:

No service at reception, most guest left without breakfast as service only starts at 8:30.
No soap, shampoo or anything in bathroom. Only one quarter of a toilet roll. Hot water wasn't available to shower in the morning. Came only on after very very long time.

Underwhelming
Pros:

The location which is a stone throne from the beach. The staff were very helpful and the food was also good.

Cons:

The beds were uncomfortable.
The floor was dusty.
The entire establishment needs a lot of upgrades and it looked more like a backpacking lodge than a hotel.
