Like an overseas holiday in the hot weather
Pros:

Lovely pool, nice to get credit in exchange for room cleaning. Fantastic views from the sea-facing windows and easy to get to the beach

Cons:

The lack of AC was difficult given the heatwave

Pros:

One of the good things was that there was a singer performing at the hotel, and we really enjoyed ourselves.

Cons:

We stayed at this hotel for five days, and unfortunately I cannot say that I was very satisfied. The cleanliness was not up to a good standard, and I was disappointed with the hygiene. It seemed that the rooms were not cleaned properly.I would also like to add that the prices at the hotel were quite expensive.

Basic and serve the purpose.
Pros:

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are fitted with fridges. Although it is close to the beach in terms of the direct distance, it requires some walk to go down to the beach, although step free.

Cons:

The room is basic and a bit old-fashioned. There is a parking space, but a bit tight. I would imagine during peak seasons many cannot find a space to park. The parking cost £7+ aday which is not the cheapest. The room is a bit tight in space. I did not find the entrance to the swimming pool but the weather was nice on the day and we went to the sea instead.

Overall, the stay was quite pleasant, but unfortunately, I would not choose this hotel again in the
Pros:

Great location, very close to the sea. The staff were friendly and welcoming, and the swimming pool was a nice bonus. Overall, a pleasant stay.

Cons:

Unfortunately, the room was quite dirty. There was dust on the bedside tables and the desk. The bathroom was especially disappointing and not properly cleaned, with an unpleasant smell coming from the shower drain. The bathroom towel dryer also didn’t work, so there was nowhere to dry our swimsuits and towels.

Disappointed by booking.com misleading photos and description of room.
Pros:

Location and very helpful staff.

Cons:

I booked the room according to the picture and details within booking.com stating 2 double beds or 1 double bed and 1 sofa bed. I was put in a room with 2 single beds. Then staff pushed the 2 single beds together ans provided a camp bed. Extremely disappointed with mi's sale via booking.com
