Lovely facilities-recently renovated and well appointed. A shame about the bedding issue as otherwise very satisfactory
Pros:

Good location-close to beach. Very clean and nicely modernised

Cons:

We had an issue with bed spaces. Had booked for 5 people but only had bed spaces for 4. Not sure if the issue was with booking.com or the hotel, or me!
The hotel offered a larger room for the second night at an extra cost but without an extra bed so one of our party slept on the floor for both nights.
The hotel staff were very pleasant and tried to help but ultimately could not find a solution to the issue, while seeking to change for more space but no extra bed.
