The bed is very comfortable. We had a nice sea view. The rooms whilst not big are well equipped. The staff were friendly. The only downside is the nearby nightclub which did impact our sleep on a Saturday night, Sunday was ok. If you have ear plugs it should not deter you from staying at the hotel.
