A very well adapted hotel for the disabled
Pros:

The location was fantastic, so close to the beach, the staff were so helpful you couldn't fault them. Anything we asked for they fulfilled. My Mum is disabled and they got her extra pillows to prop her up in bed a nice touch. Great to have a full disabled bathroom with grab rails etc, and a shower seat, couldn't have asked for a better bathroom for her.

Cons:

Nothing I can think of
