"This was my 2nd stay here . Xmas & summer . Great location. Helpful friendly warm staff Air conditioning was just about ok in the room, but not outstanding . I wanted to eat by the sea view window and it was way too hot . I have 2 little dogs, only permitted to take dogs to the garden area fenced away out of sight of the pool. It would be nice if there was an allocated space by the pool that is dog friendly . So being a line traveller , I missed out ."

"We had a lovely 2 night stay in a Deluxe Room which thankfully had air conditioning and had been renovated to a high standard. Even though there were swimming lessons in the covered pool, there was enough room for my grandson and daughter to have fun. The food, both breakfast and dinner was very good and I must compliment James in the restaurant/bar for his excellent service and professionalism. He is an asset to the Hotel. Will definitely return next year."
