Had a newly refurbished room and took my dog. Very easy check in. We booked ahead for parking so parked right outside the hotel. Lovely goody bag for dog with toy and treats. Room adequate size. Shower a bit small and only one bath towel for 2 people!! But soon rectified. Lovely complimentary toiletries and tea tray with fresh water provided. All in all a good stay. Lovely views of beach
