"We are both well through our 80's so to find our room was on the 3rd floor with no lift was an unpleasant surprise. Fortunately, with help from the receptionist, we were able to endure the climb. Good, pleasant room overlooking the beach."

8/10 Good
"The room was spotlessly clean, staff were very friendly and helpful. They also served us freshly cooked breakfast in the morning, which was lovely. The bathroom was large, clean and modern, but the room itself was very small for 2 people. On Sunday night, we planned to have dinner at the hotel restaurant. However, the hotel management decided to close the restaurant without any prior notification. The reception was also closed, which was very odd and we had to go back out into town to get some dinner."
