lovely stay!

friendly staff super clean room convenient location available sunbeds

the bar staff was cute and friendly, especially sam. plenty of sunbeds were available. the room was super clean. i enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others. i found it easy to access dinner as the hotel is close to town (about a five minute walk to the local fishing port).

i found that the bathroom windows lacked blinds or curtains, so there was no privacy.
