Superb location good range at breakfast including alternative milks. Staff were super helpful with any queries. But as mentioned by others decor is outdated, but doesn’t take away from the experience. Kids especially loved the pool which is a good size and lifeguards fantastic at keeping everything fun, safe and controlled. Would definitely revisit!

The hotel is well situated with a beautiful sea view. The staff were excellent & the rooms were clean. The only downside was that our room did not have air conditioning & we stayed on a very hot weekend. Although a fan was provided it made for a very uncomfortable night.

The location & view from the balcony with a sea view is great but the room & hotel generally is very dated. Bearing in mind the cost we paid for 1 night, not good value. We were very underwhelmed. Staff were friendly enough though.

Location, location, location… that is the hotel’s real selling point. Dated, in desperate need of refurbishment, with slapdash housekeeping and rooms needing a deep clean. An unremarkable breakfast and distinctly nonchalant staff.

the room was clean, laid out nice and a good size, we did spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the windsurfers surfers swimmers and all the other activities, rugby match on the beach one evening. the breakfast was very good, a excellent selection of hot and cold options plus the healthy option as well, one winge the toaster was under powered had to put the slices through twice to get any colour on it. all the staff we had dealings with were very helpful, even the maintenance man who gave us directions when we were a bit lost. all in all a enjoyable short stay. PS we are both oaps.

Location was fantastic, room was clean but could do with modernising as it was a bit dated. Staff were very good. Value for money probably not but once it's been shown a bit of love and attention it would be well worth it.

Location was amazing. Staff friendly and polite. Food wonderful. What lets it down is, the moment you walk upstairs towards accommodation it all seems rather tired. Walking into the room felt like we had gone back 30 years. Room was very dated. Hadn’t seen a shower curtain in a hotel bathroom for decades!!

Our room was in the newer part of the hotel, with a good size room and balcony overlooking the beach. A big bed, very firm and clean. Bathroom was a little dated and well worn, but clean. You can’t beat the location of this hotel, literally a couple of steps down from the terrace and you are on soft sandy beach with amazing views. We also used the pool, it’s small and again dated, but clean and has a lifeguard on duty during opening hours. Breakfast is a generous selection from buffet full English to continental pastries, fruit, yoghurt and the conveyor toasters! Sure to delight the kids. We also had their “pizza on the beach” cooked outside on the terrace until 5pm. There’s not a huge selection of places to eat within walking distance, so the catering here is popular and not horrendously priced. Absolutely recommend for a couple of days at the beach for families.
