Decidedly Average.

Decidedly average. Great location, and bar and restaurants look good, however the room was like something out of 1980s. No iron in room, mould/damp stains above windows. Bathroom v dated, sink didn't drain. Be aware there are no eateries or bars nearby, other than Rick Steins which is very nice, but very pricey.

A lovely place to stay

A great hotel, our room was lovely, it was spacious with a big sofa and patio doors on to a balcony overlooking the beach- beautiful! We ate in the Italian restaurant in the evening which had a good atmosphere and the food was good. Breakfast in the morning was also of a good quality. All the staff were friendly and welcoming. I would definitely stay again.
