  : We didnt have breakfast as it wasnt an option. The location is great, very close to a lovely beach, but a steep walk via steps up, so not for those with mobility issues. The duplex apartments are very spacious and really clean but quite dated in part, especially the upstairs cupboards and the stairwell. The bottle of fizz was a nice touch. Parking is readily available in the street outside which is ideal and the receptionist was very friendly. The pool is small and cold, but in a nice setting and very refreshing if its hot.
  : We stayed in apartment 212. The jacuzzi is only luke warm and therefore not very enjoyable as its neither a plunge pool for cooling down nor a hot tub for enjoying the heat. Also some of the jets fire water out like a cannon.The area between each apartment is only partitioned off with old and dirty sails, which dont provide adequate privacy or security between the two adjacent rooms. If our neighbour was in their jacuzzi, they could see straight into our apartment and if their door was open we could walk straight in to their apartment and in fact we could do the same for all those along our row too. Also from our jacuzzi we could see both of our neighbours on their terrace which is ridiculous! If I had been offered the room next door, Id have refused it, theres was worse than ours with a concrete wall to the side. What a let down! These terraces are definitely overdue a makeover and a new jacuzzi. On day one of our stay, we returned from the beach and decided to try out the jacuzzi but it wasnt working and by that time, there were no staff on site as reception is only manned for a limited few hours per day. This meant we couldnt use it until the second day, which was very annoying especially as one of the main features of these rooms are the hot tubs. To be fair though it was repaired quickly, when I advised reception the following morning but as mentioned earlier it was a waste of time anyway and if I stayed here again in the future I would not book a duplex room. Also when we arrived all of our power was off so the fridge was warm and the freezer had defrosted. I found the trip switch in the cupboard and it was fine after that. Again to be fair the receptionist came to look at it straight away, but Id already sorted it. On our last night I decided to have a bath, however, both the plug and overflow areas were really rusty and not a nice place to enjoy a relaxing bath, so I showered instead downstairs.

  : Helpful staff that were so kind to get us a better room. After realising that booking over promised.
  : Booking needs to update the images. As they do not reflect what the reality is. There are different types of rooms and booking has the wrong images.
