Single room charge is a total ripoff
Pros:

The location and the staff

Cons:

I booked two rooms. A twin and a single. The twin was on. The single was a box. No fan . I was charged £190 for the single . The double was only £15 more. Totally outrageous pricing

Pros:

Bon endroit en face de la,plage.

Cons:

3 etages à monter pour accéder à la chambre par un petit escalier. Chambre sous les toits avec une temperature ne permettant pas de dormir confortablement (température proche des 30 degrés malgré 2 ventilateurs. ). Moquette tachée et nettoyage de la chambre très approximatif..
