central locationgreat valueprolonged periodfire alarm
The location was central, a real advantage (especially for exploring the area). The staff was really helpful and offered great value.
The fire alarm went off for a prolonged period. I couldn't get back to sleep afterwards, so I was awake most of the night. I didn't see management and no apology was given for what happened, disappointing.

mixed feelings about this stay

pre-made fooddirty towels
The breakfast left something to be desired. It seemed like everything was pre-made. I saw the owner scrape leftover butter from tables back into the communal dish which was off-putting. Dirty towels bothered me. They were supposed to be white but looked more gray-yellow.

Really good Stay

cooked optionsshort walkgreen flash
The breakfast included a buffet alongside a choice of cooked options. The English breakfast was quite filling. The location proved convenient, offering proximity to both the beach and various shops, accessible within a short walk. I found the experience to be positive overall. A definite must if you are planning a visit.
The smoke alarm, positioned directly above the bed, emitted a green flash approximately every 15 seconds. I experienced difficulty falling asleep because of it. As a result, i probably will not stay again.
