The room was very comfy and tidy. The staff were very friendly. I liked I could get a discount at the bar if I skipped daily housekeeping. Secure parking was available.
The bathroom was tiny and not up to standard. The shower water pressure was low. I had trouble to control the shower temperature, its went from cold to scalding quickly.

The staff was very helpful! The pool area was quite lovely. I enjoyed that the food and bar were also good.
The bedroom was a little old fashioned. I observed some of the common areas above the ground floor were quiet dark. The hotel was satisfactory.

The staff was very kind. They were always available. The hotel also has a great location close to the beach. The rooms were also of high quality.
I booked through a third party. I was told I couldn't have a dog friendly room as there were none. The table was not cleared of the dirty dinner plates before we were given dessert.
