The room was larger than I expected with a wonderful view of the sea and the bowls club. It was very comfortable, clean, and had a good shower. The service was amazing, with the staff being very happy and helpful, even assisting with our day 2 PCR test. The location was beautiful, right on the seafront with lots to do within walking distance. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing with inedible food on both days. The facilities were good overall but lacking in the dining area.
