Lovely art deco building, with modern rooms. Great outdoor heated pool. Lovely bar (we didn't eat in). We booked for 1 adult and 2 kids (17/14) - and it would have been ideal to have a bed on the floor, rather than sharing a double - there was plenty of room in the room for this. Maybe ask if this ...
