Fabulous stay. Room was lovely. Very clean, good size, amazing sea view! The small kitchen area in the room was somewhat of a surprise! (If we had to be picky, an electric kettle would have been useful) Communal areas- pool area, gardens etc were well maintained. Breakfast was great. Good variety, and fresh. The omelette and egg lady was skilled! All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful.
