Nothing more

Asked for bed to be made up for daughter - told I had to do it myself - asked after first night for a comforter for her as her bedding was just a blanket and she had been cold (no extra pillow for sofa bed so had to give her mine) … was told they would put comforter in our room - we went out for the day - came back not in room, no maid service so bins were full - went to reception was told they didn’t have one extra duvet in the hotel - we were given a couple of blankets - lady clearing at breakfast wiped the top and the cereal flung at my husband and daughter - no apology - the school opposite was blasting music in the car lot at 7.45 in the morning for 20 mins - right opposite our room - balcony appeared rusty - did t feel safe standing in it - wouldn’t stay again - … it was basically “ok” and I’m normally very easily pleased!!! Microwave was useful

Really enjoyed our stay here. Walking distance to the beach, close to all the shopping. Main bed was very comfortable. Kids had pull out sofa, not the most comfortable but worked. Breakfast has very good selection. Spa and pool was heated. Will definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Tall guy with a buzz cut in his 20s deserves a pay raise. The door to the pool wouldn’t open when we used our key cards nor when we slammed our bodies into the door, he took us outside and hopped the fence to open the outside door so we could enjoy the hot tub on our anniversary night. Love that guy, he’s awesome.
