We had a free upgrade with sea view. Nice friendly welcome and welcome drink. Staff were very helpful and polite. Really nice room, comfortable bed, chairs on balcony, everything was clean. It seemed a bit strange to have the toilet inside the shower cubicle but it was a large cubicle. Otherwise the room, balcony, view, mini bar were all great.
Our air con didn't work well. The door didn't lock from inside (but they never got around to fixing this). The outdoor pool is clean and really nice with a shallow section for children, plenty of lounges with comfy cushions, fresh watermelon was brought round to all the guests. Strangely, the surface around the pool is large, sharp-edged pebbles which hurt your feet, so we left our sandals close to the pool. Excellent breakfast- huge range of quality food. Ate at the ala carte restaurant-- lovely food (and quite good service until you want the bill)-- worth a visit. Water was Italian and expensive.
The shuttle to the beach is reliable and prompt on published schedule-- well-used so get there early to get a seat. The beach isn't that nice but it's clean and the water was lovely. Nice little bar on hole 9 of golf course. Bikes available to hire at hotel.
