Very comfortable bed and pillows. Seating in main lounge too low for my mobility but other areas ideal. Seating in Ventana restaurant, too low again. For a four star establishment, bedroom furniture needs updating and lining in my bedroom curtains very badly ripped and needs replacing. Breakfast has superb choice and the one evening meal we had was really lovely. Great bar and choice of drinks. Good staff all round.

Old facade, but rooms have been refurbished to a good standard. The rest of the interior has retained some of its 1920's charm. Staff are helpful and hotel is well positioned with wonderful sea views. Beware that if you book through Expedia parking at the hotel is not free. I would in future book direct as the hotel will match the Expedia price and you can take advantage of the free parking which saves £12 a day.

The pool is lovely, but the lack of parasols an issue. Pillows were very hard, so I slept badly. The room that I thought I’d chosen on the Expedia website was not the one that I got given. You advertise a sea view. Please be more honest. as I had a wall view- but at least the room was quiet!!
