"The outstanding aspect of the room was the french windows onto the seaview balcony; to be able to watch the sun rise and set over the sea is magnificent."

A Mixed Experience Near the Sea

dirty shower traymusty smell

The room had a shared balcony offering a sea view, a plus. the bathroom cleanliness was questionable. The shower tray was quite dirty, and foul-smelling water bubbled up (not the best experience). The bar and lounge were deserted, and a musty smell lingered throughout the hotel.
