One night stay

The hotel and the room were very clean, the reception staff were very friendly and helpful too. The staff member at the pool was a bit abrupt, but that didnt affect our overall stay. The breakfast was very good with a wide selection to suit all. Great views overlooking the seafront for breakfast. Just to be aware that we could hear loud music during the evening that went on into the night so I presume there was a nightclub nearby so earplugs worth bringing depending upon which room you are booked in!
