The room and amenities were very clean on arrival. Kitchen was well equipped. Good heater / air conditioner and 2 tvs so we could watch different programs if we wanted to. My only complaint would be the couches and I find it the same at most accommodation. They are uncomfortable to sit and watch tv or read a book. A couch with a chaise at one end or even a footstool would make it much more comfortable.

The room was fantastic but heats up during the day.by the afternoon sun. Location was brilliant and loved our small walks down the Esplanade. I would have loved a small aircon in the bedroom and a firmer mattress. Pool and restaurant are also great.

We were allocated a room that was part of a double room situation. We had the A door and the other had B door - while each was seperately locked theior was a main door sharted by both. This is not what we booked. In addition the guest in the B room came and went all night till 2 am and slammed doors and we could not sleep. We asked them to pelase be respectful and the became aggressive to us. There was no phone in room or way of getting hotel to deal with as desk at front was unmanned and we did not feel safe going down. Also facilities were poor. This was NO SPA hotel. Chaisr at pool were very limited. No shade and broken umbrellas. NOt what we boooked and paid for and expected.

Room was clean, but there was a lingering smell that was not pleasant. The fridge was not cold - milk remained at room temperature regardless of turning the dial to colder. When this was brought to the attention of staff, it is presumed they looked at it, but did not fix it. The pool was dominated by children the entire time - having an adults only period (e.g., 7-9pm) would be much better. Air con did not reach into the bedroom. Bed was not comfortable. The hotel is in a good location, has a nice setup overall, and is in a beautiful town.
