Adequate

Location is excellent, staff are friendly, the rest is average. The room could benefit from a refurb, especially the bathroom. Inland views were poor (fire exits, bins, pigeon droppings). Breakfast was adequate, fresh fruit could have been fresher.

Room was incredibly hot, weather about 22 degrees during our stay so not overly hot. Room was impossible to keep cool. Service in main restaurant was good but on the terrace bar was terrible. Nice view from the outside area.

The attitude of staff when you asked a question.Seemed an air of secrecy about the reservations of tables in the di ning room.They definitely did not want to discuss the seagulls roosting outside our window and the unhygienic droppings every where.

Onsite parking was perfect, especially as it was a motorbike holiday. Felt secure and safe. Friendly, welcoming and helpful staff, especially the door man who was always eager to help with a smile. Food was great and the room perfect. The pool was warm and at the time of my stay, not too busy. Highly recommended and will return.

Nice sea view from sea-facing rooms. There was scaffolding, which obscured the view of some of the inland-facing rooms. Pool / sauna are great. Pool has a shallow area sectioned off for kids. There's a small gym too. Many car park spaces were infinged by excess vegetation or skip. A couple of spaces not really accessible due to the center of a 'mini roundabout'. Two EV chargers available via some app (didn't use them).
