  : The property is in an amazing location, right on the beach with comfy free beach loungers to use for hotel guests. The side sea view room was beautiful with a great view, however if you were on a lower floor further to the back I would imagine the view wouldnt have been as nice.
  : The staff were not overly friendly, and when I asked for fresh towels to be put in my room, I returned to my room to find none had been put there. I had to ask again for the new towels. However this was only a minor thing and didnt taint my stay here.

  : The location sells this hotel with its spectacular views of the bay, private beach area with sunbeds and parasols for guests included. Much thought has been invested into the walk by sea front area with its tasteful furnishings, foliage and background playlist of piano jazz tinkling away. Open breakfast was plentiful ( when available) with daily egg options being offered and cooked to order. I had an omelette most days - made to perfection. The hotel exterior of the hotel exudes 4 star feel and quality which understandably entices passers by to soak up the chilled ambiance and gradure. I enjoyed reading about the family history and how the hotel acquired its name.My bed had a firm mattress which was very comfy (appreciate this is down to personal choice) but suited me. Great hairdryer along with powerful shower and good working air-conditioning. I felt very safe there was a solo traveller.
  : Rooms could be better. Mine was small and basic (but immaculately clean to be fair). Decor very dated and didn't reflect the exterior feel in any way. Curtains were were held up on a piece of string which had seen better days. Bathroom was very dated (but workable) with poor quality toiletries. I don't recall seeing any hotel/area information in the room which would be helpful to new guests visiting the area. Balcony was tiny, but as a solo traveller it was fine and served well each day to admire that incredible view. I did ask to view other rooms while I was there which they kindly did - these were bigger but also dated and tired looking. Staff seemed extremely tired and not overly welcoming at times. Possibly refected in the language barrier and nearing the end of season? Perfectly understandable as they work very hard long hours in extensive heat. Most staff however, were very friendly and incredibly polite all the time and as already said, I felt very safe here. I couldn't find the pool area and was shown its location (tucked away across the road otherwise I wouldn't have seen it). I swam in the pool for approx 20 -30 mins and on the same day another guest was told 'pool is closed', without any reasons why. I explored further with reception staff to be told 'problem with pool.' Whilst I accept this may have been the case due to a chemical issue, the situation was poorly managed with no signage to stop guests going in there (including me - concerningly). Beds were notably removed the following day, which in hindsight, was a tad late after being taken to the pool area for my use as a staying guest at the hotel by reception staff. Not great tbh.However the positives outweigh the negatives and so I would definitely stay here again - just chose a different room!
