decent stay near the beach
great locationhelpful staffbreakfast varietycold poolbroken tilefridge door
The location is great. It is just across the road from the beach. breakfast offered a good variety. I found the omelette station particularly nice. the staff at reception were helpful. they provided useful tips about local attractions.
The pool was too cold for me to enjoy a swim. It was really freezing. maintenance seemed lacking. I noticed broken floor tiles around the pool. the fridge door in my room was hanging off. it looked quite worn.
