Balanced stay experience

sea view varied breakfast unhelpful staff uncomfortable bed

The breakfast offered great variety. Isabel, who served us, was particularly excellent. The location proved beneficial and the sea views from our room were a bonus.

The beds felt just a slight upgrade from a camp bed. The water temperature was hard to regulate and mostly too hot. Staff were less than helpful.
