The room was ok, but for the whole week we stayed there was no interaction with anyone. Self check-in via a hard to find kiosk & not a staff member in sight through the day. We stayed 6 nights & the room was serviced once. The meals at the attached hotel were overpriced & overcooked & the bar staff couldn’t rate customer service as one of their strong points. We were disappointed & won’t stay here again.

We booked a 1 bedroom double story apartment for 5 nights. The apartment was very good, with a full kitchen, and was part of a hotel/pub and was well located, close to the beachfront. The only issue we had was when it rained (very heavily) the floor to ceiling windows had not been sealed properly, so quite a bit of water entered the ground floor lounge area. Staff provided towels for us to put on the floor, but it is obviously an ongoing issue for them. Apart from that, we had a good stay, and the meals at the pub restaurants were very good. Location-wise there was a large cinema opposite the hotel, and plenty of varied dining options just around the corner.
