We went to the restaurant. It is nice although Christmas decoration was a bit disappointing in 2024

We had a room with a lovely, partial sea view which was great, it was also a really good size and a good sized bathroom with overhead shower. All were clean, the only disappointment with both was that we were unaware of the hotel’s COVID cleaning restrictions so didn’t have anything cleaned or changed during our stay.
Every morning we had breakfast, it was delicious, plentiful and the service was excellent. On arrival, we ate lunch in the lounge area and it was lovely with good service too. The only times we felt disappointed by the service was a couple of times by the outside seating area and pool when the service was slow, quite abrupt and when a waitress brought us Appletizers when we requested Aperol Spritz’ (she then didn’t come back when we said we’d look at the menu for something else!)
The pool was a lovely addition and hidden gem and quite spacious with a nice seating area, changing area and view over the sea.
The hotel is a bit further to walk to the centre and Pier but you are afforded wonderful views and an added bonus in the town of onsite parking!
I do recommend the hotel and would return.
