Carnival overnight sleep over
Pros:

The hotess provided a great breakfast and was very helpful with transportation and restaurant.

Cons:

When I first arrived, the place smelled a little moldy, however after the rooms were and windows were opened the smell was gone.
The room that I am sleeping indicates that it was perhaps a kid room converted into a bedroom. The toilet and bath was tiny and there was minimum space for 2 persons.

PLEASE NOTE THERE IS NO ELEVATOR SO NOT SUITABLE FOR OLDER FOLKS. NO BELLBOY TOO.

However, the bed was great and my slumber was restful

Overnight good value
Pros:

The location is great and sea views amazing and hotel charming

Cons:

Unfortunately the beds in our rooms were metal so very squeaky every time you moved and matresses need replacing as springs felt through them so sleep very poor and heat in room had us sweating all night sadly

Pros:

Une grande maison qui est restée dans son jus à la belle époque et dans la tradition. La localisation avec une belle vue sur la mer.
Un très bon contact avec la personne en charge du petit déjeuner et de l’accueil pour les renseignements des restaurants alentour.
Les petites attentions dans la chambre ( bouteille d’eau, chocolat)

Cons:

Les fenêtres sont d’époque et très passante. Le confort du lit est très limite .
