Very upset that EXPEDIA did not showcase this hotel correctly. Expedia's gallery information regarding the bathrooms showed showers over baths. However after checking in we found our bathroom only had a shower cubicle. This meant an inconvenient room change the next day. We thought all rooms had baths with showers. Expedia should have been more accurate when describing the hotel's amenities

Great pool, quite warm too! Lovely view from the room & the bar. Food was nice, service was slow though. Doesn't have room service, despite saying it does - I was told I could order in the bar & carry it up myself but I have a walking stick so not sure how I was meant to balance it. Also if my son was well enough to sit in the bar while they ordered & cooked his food,then we may as well just eat there (he wasn't well enough) Worst though was the lack of sleep due to the pillows - all 3 days I woke with the worst pain in my neck, despite trying to sleep in every position & try every pillow! Haven't had this issue in other hotels.

Don’t eat in the reataurant
The room was lovely and the check in staff were effiecent however the restaurant was awful. We booked a dinner in the upstairs restaurant and waited over 30 minutes for starters, then for the main course they forgot to bring sides. The cutlery was dirty and we had to request it changed. Also when we got tea the milk was curldled. We told a member of staff and they brought us a new portion of milk but we had no fresh tea or cups to use as the bad milk was in the cup

Could not recommend this hotel enough, we were here for 2 nights with a 4 year old. The family room was spacious and clean, staff were very friendly. The pool was a big hit for us, great location. The beach and everything was within walking distance. We will definitely be back.

Pleasantly surprised by how quiet this hotel was (no night-time hum from heating/air-con). Very clean rooms, a spacious gym (for a hotel), and a nice pool. Breakfast diverse, but the hotel might consider indicating allergens on its menus, and ensuring a wider range of choices for vegan/vegetarians and other special diets.
