I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with a clean and spacious room that was really comfortable. The staff was attentive and made me feel welcome. The location was perfect, just a short walk to the beach, although I found the dining options a bit limited and not the best value. Despite that, the facilities were great, especially the pool area, which was a nice place to relax after a day out.
