Reviewer Type: Family With Children

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: The room was a good size for us. Great location near shops.Beautiful sea view and direct access to the beach. Staff were really helpful.

Negative: The heating was permanently on in the room and it couldn't be switched off so we had to put the air con on overnight which we didn't expect to have to do in October. The staff tried to help but it isn't possible to turn it off. I'm sure during the summer it wouldn't be a problem as the heating wouldn't be on.

Summary: Great location with direct access to beach, would stay again
