The staff were very friendly. My room was clean. I had a great view of the sea from the room. The restaurant was busy but I found seating both inside and outside (I especially enjoyed sitting outside).
There was no parking available at the hotel. I found the noise from other guests moving around upstairs noticeable early in the morning. I booked through a third-party site and perhaps this affected the room assignment. The room felt quite small compared to others I saw.

i found the location excellent. it's right on the front, exactly as i hoped! the super nice team, especially with directions.
Parking was a slight problem. the website mentioned parking around the back, but i had to pay for two nights, unexpected. And the room security seemed a little suspect. one of the sash windows could not be locked, and it was easily accessible from a flat roof.

We booked a sea view room, a lovely experience because I could watch dolphins from the window. The room was spacious and super clean. I also appreciated the tasty breakfasts with vegetarian options available.
The room was not cleaned . The food quality was very low, reminiscent of a roadside diner. I was shocked.
