Property location is very convenient. And the sea view rooms are very good. However, I think the beds had bed bugs in the them as our kids and a few insect bite marks on their face and legs.

Slightly tired
This hotel is a little old and dated but otherwise ok. One big problem is that there is no lift to the second and third floors and the shower is over the bath. The view is peaceful.
