We were disappointed.

Liked: Location was good. We did enjoy our time.
Disliked: Safety issues unlit and steep stairwell. No light, no switch - one aged person fell on descent.No working smoke alarms.Spa bath didn't fill.Meals at restaurant disappointing. Gold card offer on evening meal was confusing/disappointing. A dog was living in downstairs unit and obstructing our entry/exit. Insufficient electric blankets. Unit was tired - needed an upgradeDefinitely not value for money.

Fine if you want a...

Liked: Good location - just a short walk to the beach. The electric blanket on the bed made a big difference as it was quite cold in the room.
Disliked: Needs modernising as it looks pretty run down. Stains and marks on the bed covers. Dust and dirt over the heater.
