Arrived late evening and met by friendly receptionist who after booking us in took us to room. The hotel is very clean and all staff friendly and helpful. The food was restricted but very eatable, evening meals also had choice every night of fresh cooked meat and fish. Very good for a relaxing holiday.
Would definately return.

“ Hotel very clean, staff extremely polite and helpful. The only down side is that although the rooms were clean and cleaned everyday they are starting to look alittle on the tired side but we did have a fridge and kettle which proved very helpful. The food was good, good selection of hot (bacon, eggs, tomatoes etc) and cold (cheese, ham, yogurts, fruit etc) for breakfast and plenty on the menu for lunch &/or dinner. The beach is a short walk away, however it is uphill on the way back! There is a supermarket on site plus one across the road and restaurants/bars were a short walk away. Good location if you like to be able to walk away from the busy Strip area!

As a couple we were very comfortable at this hotel. The food was very good and the 5 minute walk to the beach was quiet and acceptable. We hired a car and felt this was necessary to see different parts of the area.
The pool was spotless although was colder than the sea!
We did half board which meant we had at least two meals a day! On reflection we would probably self cater next time so that we didn't eat (and drink) too much!
The hotel was fine for us as an 'older' (just age 60) couple.
