mixed experience, some disappointments

outdated decor lack of sea view

The staff was polite and helpful. That's something.

the room decor felt outdated. i think the bathroom really needed a makeover. also, the lack of a sea view was disappointing given the hotel wasn't very busy. it would have been a nice touch to offer an upgrade.

all staff were cute and kind. they explained the facilities very well. the pool and sauna were lovely, clean, calm and relaxing. the on site parking available was very handy and close to the place.

i thought the decor in our room was a bit outdated. (it was a bit 80s). the bathroom could have done with a makeover. (maybe some new tiles?).
