Sea views were mostly hidden behind the salt spray on the windows and even then it was just a glimpse if you stand right at the window. Room was spacious but noise from showers and taps did carry through to the bedrooms.

The location and the room where nice, the checkin process however was strange. We arrived at 13.00 about an hour before before official checkin and we were told we had to wait until 14.00 which is fine. We got asked to wait in the lobby and returned at 14.00 when we were told the room wasn't ready. They had no explanation or seemed apologetic and just sent us to the lobby again to wait. After another hour around 15.00 the room was ready and we got given the key. Next thing was that the breakfast organization was very clumy for a buffet. Constantly having to keep asking for restock of bread/milk/fruit and things like that.

The rooms are great with lovely views towards the sea. We would stay here again but would eat out. The buffet needs to be avoided! Despite being there an hour after the buffet opened the food was either cold or had run out When I said to the chef that the veggies were cold he took one out by hand, felt it and then returned it to the tray! If that’s what is done in public what happens in the kitchen?
