"I don’t recommend this hotel. Its only positive qualitiy is location. The first room we were given (3rd floor, lift out of order) smelt of stale tobacco smoke (despite 'no smoking' signs). We asked to change. The next room had an unwashed bathroom floor. The 3rd was small but we took it because it was cleaner and had a better view. When I noticed there was only one bath towel, I went down to speak to the male receptionist. I collected the extra towel from his office but the teabags he agreed to...

This period is ideal for enjoying leisurely strolls along the seafront and exploring the town's gardens without the intense heat. You'll find many of the local shops and cafes are fully open, offering a relaxed experience.

July and August are the warmest months, with temperatures often between 20°C and 25°C, making them superb for enjoying the beaches and outdoor events.

If you enjoy a vibrant setting and don't mind more people, this is an excellent time to visit.

September offers a lovely transition, with temperatures still mild, around 18°C, and the summer crowds starting to thin out. The sea remains warm enough for swimming, and the light is often beautiful for photography.
