fantastic family stay near the beach

fantastic location spacious room convenient robes thoughtful touches
i found the hotel's location to be excellent the beach is very close and offers great views from the hotel i loved sleeping with the windows open listening to the sea my family room was spacious with a bed in the main area and bunk beds for the kids there were even beanbags for them to relax on. i also appreciated the the kids squash and hot chocolate station plus the fluffy robes and slippers for pool use were very convenient.
i must admit the music from the restaurant was quite audible in my room it was a bit loud even late into the evening the restaurant should maybe stop the music earlier. i think the noise could be reduced with some simple solutions.

Fantastic Family Stay!

room partition bedtime cookies dog amenities cockerpoo bed
The hotel room featured a partition wall separating our bed from the bunk beds. This setup offered a great solution for family privacy. We found little touches, such as milk and cookies at bedtime (especially chocolate chip), particularly good. Our cockerpoo also appreciated his new ball and dedicated bed upon arrival.
I found the separate hot and cold faucets in the bathroom a bit tricky to manage. The hot water became scalding very quickly.
Facilities

The hotel has amenities, such as a swimming pool, a jacuzzi, and a cinema room for guest enjoyment. A soft play area and a pool table are available for children, so there are plenty of options for family entertainment. The hotel provides a good range of facilities.

I enjoyed the food. The cinema was a great idea. I found the staff very friendly and they couldn't do enough for you. There was even a litter picking kit if you reminded me of doing your bit on the beach.
The pool needed to be warmer.
