Great stay

All great, reception staff very welcoming, however, when I went back to inform them that there were no robes, iron & ironing board and yoga kit one receptionist was quite frosty - eventually all placed in room, though only 1 robe. Bar staff were very friendly, dining room had no availability so ate in bar. Second night there was a large coach party in, we found it easier & quicker to order via the table app. Food was good & well presented. Didn't use pool as much smaller than photos seem to suggest. Breakfast was fantastic with plenty of choice.

A great hotel. Staff were so friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar looking out on the esplanade was awesome. Food was great and the recommendations from the bar staff to try some local wines was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

Access to beach fantastic but they parked a coach right in front of the restaurant to block the view. Thoughtless of the coach driver. Great small outdoor pool.
