The receptionist was very cute. Our stay was pleasant. Our room was spacious. It included a separate shower and a bath. The evening meal tasted delicious, and the waiter was attentive.
My room was not made up, which I found inconvenient. Dirty towels were taken off the floor, but they were put back on the towel rail. There were cobwebs and dead moths on the window ledge, unpleasant.

the room had a lovely sea view, i enjoyed that. the staff was helpful and smiley, from the reception to housekeeping. i also enjoyed the miss marple cocktails at the compass bar, a good choice.
The hotel needs money spending on it. The rooms are old. the internet in the room was poor, i had signal issues. i found lipstick on glasses, and some stains on the carpet, which i did not appreciate.
