Bedrooms not great but location & views were amazing
Pros:

The location was great & the views were amazing.

Cons:

Bedrooms were tired & mattress was very lumpy & uncomfortable. Breakfast wasn’t great & definitely not very good value for money. No air conditioning in the bedrooms just an old dusty dirty fan, understaffed, staff weren’t very accommodating, no room service, food wasn’t available after 7pm if there was an event on.

Probably wouldn’t go back again
Pros:

The hotel staff were all very friendly and helpful
The room was well furnished and supplied. The room staff did their job well

Cons:

The hotel appeared to be short off staff, at times the bar was left unattended and the clients had to wait for the barman to return before being served.
We were advised that there was on site parking, on arrival we were told we would be charged £15 per night to park our car - this should have been advised at the time of booking.

Atmosphere of the hotel is peaceful and pleasant.
Sea view from room no. 209 excellent.
Bathroom small but clean and everything worked ok!

Cons:

Breakfast menu is adequate but rather 'ordinary'
Cereal bar is fine and good selection, (peach slices delicious!)
