The hotel offers basic yet comfortable rooms with an extra-large bed and a fabulous view. While the rooms were tidy, a mildew remover would enhance the overall experience. The service was friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant stay. The location is perfect, right on the seafront, providing wonderful views. Dining options were good, although with some room for improvement. Overall, a value-for-money stay with a few minor areas to enhance.
