The hotel is excellent. The room was very comfortable and allowed me to relax. The food at breakfast and dinner was excellent. The setting looking to the sea is superb, watching the waves roll in, just brilliant. The only downside is the parking can be tricky, due to the number of cars.

We chose this due to location on our beach tour. It matched our expectations and was very good value for money. Breakfast gets a 3/5 which is fine ( 5/5 would have an egg chef and champagne). Evening meal was 4/5, service was good. Wine by the small bottle. May have been other options but not offered anything. Slept well. All good. Recommend.
