I can only reiterate what many others have said on Tripadvisor. This is possibly the best hotel we have stayed in. It is spotlessly clean and the attention to detail is amazing - rearringing the fruit at breakfast, fluffing up the cushions in the lounges, cleaning the ceiling fans and maintaining the gardens - all done constantly. It would be rude to mention staff by name because there isn't a single one of them who doesn't deserve praise, from reception to bar to restaurant to maintenance. Breakfast is amazing - I have never seen an egg-boiling machine, pancake maker, automatic yoghurt dispenser or honeycomb before! And of course the toaster provides endless entertainment every morning. The pool is a little brisk (to say the least) but huge and with the more than adequate number of sunbeds, each with a table, never any of the conflict you get at other hotel pools. But not only were the staff fantastic, so were the other guests. We met and socialised with people from many different countries and found them great company. It is not a cheap hotel but, as I said, probably one of the best. However - maybe the owners should consider having the pool toilets and changing rooms put in a museum. They have probably been there since 1926!!

The hotel is an excellent location on the sea front, it has a divine little garden plus a private swimming pool. Every member of staff went above and beyond to be helpful and friendly. Our room was spotless, spacious and very comfortable. Bus stops at front and rear of the hotel, train station a 20 minute walk. Bicycles for hire. Breakfast was amazing with fresh delicious hot and cold food to choose from. Restaurant for evening dinner is reservation only if you are not half board and you are required to dress smartly. We couldn't believe out luck when we checked into this hotel.

Wonderful hotel! Interesting interior and decoration. The room is comfortable, clean and spacious. Breakfast is quite varied. We stayed at the hotel in April, the swimming season had not yet begun, there were few guests in the hotel, which added coziness and atmosphere. We were upgraded to a sea view room. The reception staff were very nice. especially Julia. She helped arrange sun loungers for us on the beach. We spent unforgettable hours by the sea! The holiday was wonderful!

The hotel location is great, just a few steps away from the beaches, a beautiful park as well as the shops and restaurants. The staff was extremely polite and responsive. Rooms are big, especially for stays longer than a few days it provides enough space to feel comfortable and at home. Breakfast provides a big range of everything from fruits to eggs, deli and gluten-free options.
