Good communication with hotel for organising parking and a later checkout on our last day. Parking at the hotel was close by. Check in was smooth and all staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Lovely large room with balcony and sea view. Our room was clean and tidy with a large comfy bed, air con, fridge, hairdryer, towels, robes, slippers and toiletries in the bathroom. Breakfast was included in the price and very good. Close to shops, restaurants and beach. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

Hotel is in a good central position, with the rear of the hotel overlooking the sea, as does the restaurant, which was nice at breakfast. Room was basic, but we were only there one night so was adequate for our needs. Good shower. Very nice buffet breakfast with choice of hot and cold food. Staff friendly. Private car park available.
