Overall it was good, but the bar staff needs to shape up.
Pros:

Very good location, helpful reception staff, clean room, excellent view from room.

Cons:

Nobody at the bar when you needed it. We came back from a gruelling walk in the sun, were in need of a drink and there was nobody at the bar to serve.

Great short break
Pros:

I booked this stay for my parents and they loved it. They could pay £20 per person extra to have their evening meal at the hotel and also benefited from participating in the evening entertainment. They also really appreciated the great view they had of the sea and free parking.
