Great location, right above the beach. Good breakfast, lovely staff. The lift was broken and we were on the fourth floor, but as the hotel is undergoing extensive repairs, this was understandable. I'd definitely stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Although work going on in the building, it did not affect us. Room was huge, bed very comfortable, and the added bonus of a large sofa to watch tv if needed, small table and 2 chairs overlooking the sea. And all exceptionally clean. Everything you need in the room, tea/coffee, towels, soaps, hairdryer etc. Would definitely go there again.
