Toilets need to revamp and improve the facilities. The mattress that I slept in, sink in the centre. But the location is beautiful where you can have food easily. The staff are friendly and helpful.

The room is fine, but the bathroom was pretty underwhelming.
They had a pretty rooftop with sea view though

Lovely people who work here, always smiling and ready to help or advise.
(Maybe the cleaners need to pick up some hair from the shower drain however maybe people need to learn to clean up after themselves in this regard) ✌️
