Staff were nice and friendly, Hotel is old and could do with a facelift. Reasonably quiet. Club next door still not open. Vegetarian in the group was charged €14 for a salad even though it had no meat in it. No attempt made to reduce the price. Food was very enjoyable.

Was pleased with this hotel and was only used to sleep. Lovely setting. If staying longer I would have liked to have a room overlooking the beach.
