Whenever we read reviews about this hotels that mention how amazing this hotel is, and the staff are really friendly and more... More

We visited this hotel in March for 7 nights half board, having been 4 times before with coach parties. The staff are all extremely efficient and friendly, the rooms and communal areas spotless and the food very good. Situated as it is, just a stone's throw from the beach, we had lovely bracing walks along the coastal path before breakfast.... More

Room and bathroom clean however very shabby, small and awful bedding (Second if not First World War springs to mind). TV so tiny, my laptop screen is bigger, as it rained the first day we preferred to weather the elements than being cooped up in this uninviting room. Everything done on the cheap. Overprized for what it is. Breakfast so... More

Stayed for 5 days, could not find anything to complain about. The food was excellant, staff very friendly and helpful and the hotel was spotless. Would not hesitate to recomend it and would not consider going anywhere else when we come back to the area.

We had chosen this hotel being only one of a few offering wheelchair access..........the hotel was contacted to confirm that the hotel really was accessible for a wheelchair user.......this would surely suggest that the wheelchair user may be using a wheelchair! at no time during the conversation with an 'english'(we think) receptionist was there any forthcoming information regarding the level...

We knew that this was a 2 star hotel and as such went with 2 star expectations. In some areas the hotel pleasantly surprised us, and others let themselves down. The room was clean and had everything that we wanted from it. Unfortunately the bed was quite hard, you had to run the shower for at least 10 minutes before... More

We had a large family room with double bed & two singles. Bed linen was immaculate, tea & coffee making facilities & T.V & very warm ( we had to turn our... More
