The room was clean and well kept. The location was good (close to the beach).
The TV in my room did not work. I found the lack of fresh milk for hot drinks disappointing, especially with a fridge available.

fantastic seaside stay!
sea viewreception room
i had a room with a sea view and i saw the hotel was just opposite the thatch restaurant (that serves amazing breakfast). i even played dominoes in the main reception room. mini golf was also conveniently across the road.
the room was very hot. opening the windows at night resulted in a lot of noise from outside. motorbikes seemed to rev their engines outside.
