My room was clean and large, however it was dark, 70’s decor, poor refreshment facilities and cheap furnishings. Would not recommend this ‘hotel’, it is more of a motel.

Great position on the water, access to shops and the beach is fantastic. The hotel itself didn't offer much and the room for 4 was quite small. But, we knew this beforehand and were OK with it.
