Good value all round, stayed in a family room which was massive however the bathroom is very small. Breakfast was ok, portions are certainly large enough. Great views over the beach, the lobby/bar area are very nice and the outside seating area is very large.

Easy to get to the beach. Family friendly. Pleasant staff. Old worn carpets, needs modernising, fan didn't work in bathroom and couldnt open the window in there. Cooked breakfast was very greasy, was described as grilled but was fried. The egg benedict was good. Evening meals we're excellent value.
