Stayed in this hotel in February. Beds are comfortable, no noise from other guests and inclusive breakfast was about as expected. Hotel is clean and staff were really helpful. Later check out than most hotels which we found really helpful for our flights. They left a treat for my partners birthday which was absolutely lovely. The area was nice and not far from the beach. Weather was nice being in Feb surprisingly but bet this is beautiful in the summer
