Enjoyable experience very hard working staff. Did wait 40 mins for breakfast to be served, staff worked non stop, can only think kitchen staff were very slow. Meals were good but breakfast could have been better. Entertainment good, apart from the show night very loud and unfortunately not good at all. They cleared most of the guests.

The hotel has a great sea front position. We had a large triple room with a large bathroom unfortunately very overlooked and not a good view. Free parking right outside the hotel if you are one of the lucky few to get one. Friday night main meal selection wasn't good , we had to settle for a salad which we didn't really want and had to purchase more food from the bar even though we were on " all inclusive" Breakfast was ok but lots of people left the sausage on the plate as did my partner so obviously not the best quality. Bed was comfy and tram stop opposite so easy to get around as it is quite a walk to get to the main shopping and entertainment area.
