Generally the location of the hotel was great-close to the sea, holiday facilities, gardens, promenade - great place for walking! The bed was capacious, most comfortable - definitely made for weary bodies!
The shower area could have been rinsed clear of beach sand; room service could have been a little more prompt; and dental hygiene products at hand.
