    Staff were wonderful. Huge gratitude to Carol who answered all my questions and was extremely friendly. Can’t speak highly enough of her! Rooftop pool was lovely — I spent a lot of time relaxing there. Not much of a social life at the rooftop...

    Really helpful staff. AC works fine. Close to seafront bars and cafes. Pools look inviting but it rained so didn't get to try them. Nice lounge and outside area.
