The location was close to the beach and it was quiet.
The receptionist was missing for over 5 minutes upon my arrival. I could hear staff giggling and eating crisps in the back, unprofessional and frustrating.

Really good Seaside Retreat!

I enjoyed the convenient laundry service right next door. This made keeping my clothes fresh so easy! The coastal walk to town took only 20 minutes. I loved the scenic route. Breakfast included so many good choices that satisfied every palate. The heated outdoor and indoor pools were great!
I noticed a small need for dusting in the room, but really, I can live with that!

The outdoor pool area was a highlight it featured plenty of sun loungers. The bar offered a wide selection of drinks. I also appreciated that the breakfast included both hot and cold options.
The room felt dated. Some areas needed refurbishment. The noise from adjacent rooms was noticeable at times I could hear conversations.

The breakfast was acceptable (it offered various choices).
I was disappointed to find that the heating controls were problematic. I couldn't regulate the temperature properly, resulting in the room being overheated. Excessive noise from other guests could also be heard each night.
