"This hotel is one to watch, they are clearly trying to refurb to improve the overall experience. It was patchy in places dont get me wrong with some questionable maintenance, but these things do take time! My only real critique was the way the slats for the bed were made from overly thick wood (Not designed for slats) and screwed down! So wasn’t the most comfortable although I know some people who may enjoy that! The superior rooms all back onto their own shared pool so can make it feel private and you get your own sun loungers so none of the morning rush at other hotels which is a massive benefit! For the money I paid I really can’t complain! Definately one to watch!"

If you can get a room with seaside view and balcony you should. We did yoga in the morning on our balcony, then had a late breakfast and then chose a shady grag for afternoon rock climbing. The roof top bar and pool area is a nice touch and the food there is very good. They even stock a good hard cider."
