The location offered proximity to both the beach and amenities. i loved the view from the room. It faced the sea. the breakfast each morning was lovely, especially thanks to hayley's service. she welcomed us warmly and was helpful.
water pressure in the shower was too low, so it took a long time to rinse shampoo. the towels were to be changed, but i had to use damp ones.
