spacious room good breakfast pool use

I was there for a short stay, but I ABSOLUTELY loved the very spacious family room. It was a Double Single Beds room. The breakfast was good quality, with lots of choices. The pool use was an added bonus, and I REALLY enjoyed using the facilities.

The rooms looked old and the decor needed updates.

The location was acceptable since it was a short walk to the beach.

The room was not up to par. The bathroom needed repairs with rust in the bath and the toilet seat was loose. The TV aerial was damaged making the tv reception intermittent. I wouldn't recommend.
