extractor fan noise ignored dessert order
The hotel has some definite drawbacks. I was in a sea view room, however a large tree blocked much of it. I also heard a constant droning noise. It came from an extractor fan running from 7 AM to 10 PM. I requested a fridge since the room did not include one. The staff ignored me when I wanted to order dessert, and my dirty main course plates remained for about 20 minutes.

Charming Coastal Stay
well maintained pools spa facilities complimentary golf
I found the golf course included in my stay. It was a fantastic perk. The staff maintained the pools and spa facilities well. I found the complimentary golf especially charming.
I had some trouble with the air conditioning. It malfunctioned during the afternoon and an engineer was not available to fix it immediately. This caused some discomfort.
