the staff was attentive, and the small touches (like the fresh flowers in our room). the breakfast had a wide selection and the pastries were lovely. i really loved the pool area and spent a relaxing afternoon there. we were given a complimentary upgrade as the room was vacant, a sea view room with amazing views.
the car park was a bit of a walk uphill (it's okay, we needed the exercise anyway).

Acceptable Stay with Some Disappointments

The location was good.
The room felt somewhat dated and lacked amenities I expected. There was no mini fridge or safe. I also found no conveniently placed sockets next to the bed.

The hotel location provides convenient access to nearby attractions. I found the staff friendly. The hotel provided a parking space close to the entrance, very helpful. I also enjoyed the food in the restaurant each evening.
The room temperature was high. The receptionist offered to change my room, but it was too late in the day. I had already looked for other accommodations.

I found an accessible Blue Badge parking space upon my arrival. It displayed my name. Davina greeted me at reception amidst a busy Mothering Sunday, being professional and helpful. Room 20 was a few steps from the lift. It had a walk-in shower and views of the sea from a balcony.
The dinner menu seemed very fancy and overpriced. I wish there were some more basic dishes and salads.
