Very enjoyable with great staff
Pros:

Very clean spacious accommodation staff were amazing

Cons:

No fans in the hottest period of the summer very noisy as rooms on our side of the hotel back onto the high street and there was significant noise issues until very late at night and deliveries to local businesses starting at 5 am meant very early wake ups every day with loud banging and shutters opening

Nice area to stay. Good pool. Costly and rude staff particularly old lady at reception.
Pros:

Like the pool

Cons:

There is a woman staff at the entrance. Worst and rude behaviour with guests. Kind of racist.
Property is not family friendly. Lift from 1st floor. One has to carry prams to first floor on steps. Complete floor has ups and downs. Struggle to people carry prams.

Very Disappointing Hotel Experience
Pros:

Very Disappointing Hotel Experience

Unfortunately, our stay at this hotel was a very disappointing and uncomfortable experience.

At around 3:30 pm, when we arrived for check-in, the gentleman at reception was extremely rude and unhelpful. He helped other guests take their luggage to the first floor, but when it came to us, he simply told us to take our luggage ourselves. This felt very unfair and unwelcoming.

He also told us that we could not park in front of the hotel, which meant we had to pay to park in a nearby council parking bay. The way this was communicated was particularly unpleasant and added to our frustration.

Later that night, the room was extremely hot and we were unable to sleep properly. I went back to reception to ask for help. A different gentleman was there and kindly tried to find a table fan for us, but unfortunately told us that there were no fans left. While I appreciate that he tried to help, there was no apology or real acknowledgement of the discomfort we were experiencing.

Overall, this stay was far below our expectations. The poor customer service, lack of helpfulness, parking situation and uncomfortable room made the whole experience extremely disappointing.

I would strongly recommend that the hotel management address these issues, particularly the attitude and customer service at reception. Based on our experience, I would not recommend staying here unless significant improvements are made.

Cons:

Customer Services and room temperature

Fantastic stay and if we came back would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

The location was fantastic for what we wanted. Right on the lovely sandy beach. The room was a good size, although it did get very hot. A fan in the rooms would have been ideal to make the sleeping conditions a little better. Can't comment on the breakfast as we didn't have it.

Cons:

A fan in the room, at night it became very hot. We slept with the door open but this didn't help much.
