Pros:

The rooms were basic, tidy & clean with everything you need.

It was slightly small for 2 people in the room & bed but you pay for what you get and the price was very reasonable.

We didn't include breakfast in our stay as we were close enough to walk into town which has a great variety. The location was great, we walked everywhere.

Outdoor heated pool was excellent & very clean & the main hilight of our stay due to great weather.

Staff lovely & asked if wr wanted the room serviced every day from our day of arrival, this is optional and if you choose not to they issue a £5 bar cedit for each day you don't.

Rooms were too hot.
Pros:

The pool was great! Great temperature. Nice little bar and the food was good, bed was comfortable and the rooms were clean. Great view of the ocean!

Cons:

The rooms are really hot making it really uncomfortable and although I had a fan, it just wasn't making any real difference. I would recommend the hotel to either have air con fitted or have portable air con units in the rooms.
