Great location. Views amazing from rooms.
Beds uncomfortable. Room very expensive considering no breakfast included. Parking for hotel very limited and hard to find a space on the road.

Great location, beautiful views, good facilties, good food, decent breakfast.
Initial incorrect room issued with no sea view, they then changed it upon request and upgraded it too, with no extra charge. No masseuse available initially at spa, then made available upon request for the following morning. No dedicated beach area for hotel or sunbeds. Quite expensive for one night.

Close to the town with lovely views out to sea.
Parking spaces were very limited.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2026
Good location to access town and beach
For £270 per night I was expecting more such as bottles of water in the room and toiletries big enough for two people. We stayed for 4 nights and did not find a space in the tiny car park at any time during our stay. Parking at the nearby car park as advised by reception means returning to the car park by 8 am to buy a ticket for the day. Much easier to park on the road by the car park. Also check in was extremely slow despite there only being one couple in front of us. Is it really necessary to give guests a demo of how to swipe In using a swipe card and to gather food allergies at check in? Too much information slows check in down.
