i found the staff friendly and helpful . breakfast offered a nice choice of continental options. the room had a nice walk in shower. it also included a balcony with partial sea view alongside a big picture window offering a full sea view.
the gym was a bit underwhelming i thought. there was also a chemical air freshener in use that i found surprising. i barely spent much time there, though, because it was so nice to be outside.
