8/10 Good
"Great location for views and a direct entrance for swimming in the sea. Breakfast great also. Only problem 5th floor rooms were a bit tired and in need of refresh. My colleague stayed on floor 1 and his room was magnificent. Quite a long taxi ride to get to the centre, but a free bus provided ."
