"the room was clean, laid out nice and a good size, we did spend a lot of time on the balcony watching the windsurfers surfers swimmers and all the other activities, rugby match on the beach one evening. the breakfast was very good, a excellent selection of hot and cold options plus the healthy option as well, one winge the toaster was under powered had to put the slices through twice to get any colour on it. all the staff we had dealings with were very helpful, even the maintenance man who gave us directions when we were a bit lost. all in all a enjoyable short stay. PS we are both oaps."

8/10 Good
"The room was cleanish, the carpet looked suspect lots of marks and stains and bits on the carpet you could feel under foot. The bathroom was your saviour, beautiful. I feel the room didn’t quite match up to the quality of the bathroom. Also the cooked breakfast could be improved on, the bacon would be made much better fried and not done in the oven…. This is coming from a chefs eye, as that’s what you eat with first…."
