Quite a nice hotel. The rooms overlooked the sea and could hear the waves crashing against the so called beach. There is no beach there. The rooms were nice and a little kitchenete.

We stayed in hotel for 1 week in September and thoroughly enjoyed our holiday there. Food was varied and plentiful, hotel clean and rooms spacious. Only disappointment was the location.

Trying to get out, I was swept back down again over pebbles large and small and... More

We should have had meals on the 'plane which we didn't get, weren't booked on the transfer coach ( but were allowed on) and weren't booked into the hotel. However, this was... More
