Excellent staff. Good food. Good location. Comfy bed. Good room with excellent sea facing balcony. My only concern was the old fashioned Internet WiFi system which uses a system that regularly failed in our room.

Improvement, please.

The food is very bad. Only frozen fish, no fresh oysters, the sea and Harbour 50 meters away. Old supermarket bread and harsh butter in plastic for dinner. It used to be good, now it was the only bad experience we had on our three weeks round trip.

Seaside Hotel with great views!

Our bedroom was spacious and nicely furnished and decorated. One more chair would have made even nicer to be able for both to look out to the sea! The bistro needs a little revamping as it lacks atmosphere . Oilcloth table cloths are a nono
