Hotel review
Great location near to the beach, shops bars and restaurants. Regular buses into local areas. Extremely helpful staff who were happy to help with anything. We didn’t eat at the hotel but breakfast and evening meals were available with a well stocked bar. The steps to the room were steep but we were informed about them before we arrived and were happy with our choice. Room dated and very small but had a beautiful view and all the usual commodities. Clean and tidy. Unfortunately, the mattress was uncomfortable which meant we didn’t sleep well.
