Friendly, efficient staff at reception. Quick check in. Magnificent views. Parking at the rear of the building. Clean bedding with 2 pillow options. Our room was tired and in need of a refurb. Bathroom doors falling to bits at the bottom with outdated furnishings. Indian Myna birds are nesting in holes in the patio with poo droppings signalling their presence.
