Property was classed as 4 star but was dated and the standard was nowhere near what the photos looked like. Floorboards creaked. Rooms had a musty smell and the air conditioning unit kept making noises even when switched off! Walls were very thin and we could hear the TV next door. Breakfast was adequate. Spa was good and had a large pool. Location was good but area a bit dodgy at night. We could access the beach via a walkway down the cliff. It was fine for a wheelchair getting down but getting back up to the hotel was a problem. The area is a bit hilly so would recommend staying elsewhere if you need to use a wheelchair. The accessible room was ok but located on the third floor. Staff were helpful Overall would class the hotel as a 3 star
