So many great things about this hotel

Great hotel in a stunning location with even more stunning views. Lovely pool and breakfast looking over the sea was spectacular. Bathroom was new and rooms nice, but its an older hotel so parts of it were a bit shabby. Great staff, entertainment, pool area were fab!
Breakfast views
