Overall another good stay here, Mixed views on staff with most really welcoming and friendly while some are simply professional. Rooms are good but could do with some TLC due to worn paint work, window cleaning etc. Really good offering for breakfast. Overall good and would happily stay again.

Tired 'club double' room in need of a complete refresh. Overnight technical breakdown resulted in no hot water throughout the hotel during the first morning. Note that the indoor pool is small (3 able to swim at one time) and slots have to be booked in advance rather than turn up & use.

The hotel and room were very clean, the bed very comfortable and the hotel was in a good location to shops and beach. The only downside was lack of staff, the reception team made us feel like we were causing them and inconvenience when checking out and the lack of service at the bar was appalling we would have spent longer at the bar and brought more drinks if someone had been there to serve us. One member of staff walked behind the bar and our glasses were empty she then just walked past us and back out not even asking if we wanted another drink, it was very disappointing.
