Well enjoyed stay, would stay again, and definitely would recommend to family and friends.
Pros:

The Hotel all round was very good. They even had a happy hour in the lovely little bar, between 4-6 and again 8-10pm.
The cooked breakfast was excellent. The room was on the front of the hotel overlooking the sea.
The staff were very friendly and helpful from the reception through to the breakfast room.

A comfortable restful stay in a lovely clean friendly hotel.
Pros:

Everything. From the moment we step into the Rex we are made to feel welcome. The food is amazing, the service is first class and the rooms are lovely always clean and tidy. Having a sea view is an added treat. Staff stay at The Rex which is always nice so we see a familiar face but also says a lot about the owners and management. The Rex is second to none. An amazing team.

Cons:

Nothing to dislike

Overall it was a good stay. Friendly staff and nice breakfast made up for the uncomfortable bed/plumbing issues.
Pros:

Good location. Lovely staff. Nice breakfast.

Cons:

Bed was uncomfortable as room was on a slant, so felt like i was falling to one side. Toilet flush was very poor.
