the guy at reception was very polite he helped us as a family. i entered a bright, clean, cute room it looked fresh. there was a lovely sea view i will definitely go there again on my next trip. a bonus is free parking
on arrival i found a burst pipe which meant there were no services such as the bar, food or breakfast available the next morning. this caused inconvenience due to my disabilities. it meant my wife and i had to walk out to other premises which is what we did not want to do

Adequate stay with minor issues

attentive staffhelpful staffbeach locationtricky keydirty carpetsticky floor
The staff were attentive and helpful. The manager told me about local alternatives when the kitchen closed early. The beach location is superb. I got a free parking space.
The room key was tricky to work and I needed assistance from the bar. The room needed a deep clean, especially the carpets. The bathroom floor was sticky. I noticed that the bed mattress had noisy springs.
