I really enjoyed the proximity to the beach, it was just steps away. The restaurant served very nice food at reasonable prices, and portions were generous. I even took dessert to go. Breakfast using local produce was delicious, I especially loved the sausages.

Finding the entrance proved slightly challenging as it wasn't immediately obvious.

dirty entrance tired area

The location was good with a restaurant and bar downstairs.

The outdoor areas looked tired and dirty. The reception entrance had beer kegs blocking it. I found the communal areas to be old, faded, and tired (this was disappointing).
