Awful, we stayed here for one night and we would never return. The bar closed just after 6:30pm on a Saturday night before we had finished dinner there no dessert. Wish we booked somewhere else.

Location is beautiful. No internet in rooms is very disappointing and furnishings are old. Do not pay the parking fee.

Fantastic location right on the beach. Gorgeous resort pool. Very quiet and relaxing location. Bathroom a bit outdated and no kitchenette. Restaurant wasn’t open due to Covid so it was a drive to get food. No coffee nearby.

Great location and facilities. However, room floor was dirty including rubbish swept behind toilet door and 5th bed not made for guest.

The hotel is very dated , a lot of mould in the shower and bathroom. There were guests outside on the grass having a party all night until 6am, this could be heard all through the room as the door didn’t shut very well. Amazing view and location , disappointing about the room.
