United Kingdom
Reviewer Type: Family With Children
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Kids loved the pool. Hotel is directly on the beach with a beach bar and shaded/ unshaded sunbeds available. Also ideally situated for restaurants. Comfortable beds and good shower. Staff serving breakfast were very friendly and kind.
Negative: Manhole cover by the pool was loose and could have caused an injury. Smell of mould in Bathroom in room. Beach sellers hassling for sales whilst on the sunbeds. Would have been helpful to have a small brush in hotel room to sweep up sand and a wiper in the shower as it would have helped us keep the room clean.
Summary: Great location. Pool was good. Breakfast staff friendly.
