So so...
Pros:

We had the whole pool to ourselves which was nice , most members of staff were lovely and helpful, once in your room very quiet you can't hear other guests. Tea / coffee sugar plentiful.

Cons:

Blonde lady at reception not friendly, some rooms downstairs smelt of sick and an unclean smel?l, dirty glass doors , window only opens so far so quite warm no air, couldn't swing a cat in the bathroom , I if a larger person I think they would struggle to get through the door because the sink so close :/ dirty stained carpet, but cleanish fir the rest

Wouldn’t recommend.
Pros:

Room was huge.

Cons:

Room was absolutely boiling hot. 1 desk fan for a huge room.
Beds hard as wood and springs poking out of the mattresses.
Did the half board and the food was absolutely diabolical in the evening. ‘Nothing at all for the kids to eat, had to order food in.

For the amount of money we paid it was shocking, doesn’t seem like a budget!
Pros:

Location was in quiet roads, not too far form the beach and town

Cons:

Dirty, unkept, stains and dust everywhere. Only hot water available from the sink and shower.
Breakfast is a poisoning waiting to happen.
