Perfectly situated right there on the esplanade with gorgeous sunny sea and beach views from the living room and balcony. Good off street parking space and lift to 2nd floor. The beach, plenty of eating places, amusements and ice cream available just a stones throw away.

Cleaner was an hour late finishing which wasn’t helpful. Mostly clean but bath plug was full of hair and dirty (ran it for a bath but didn’t have it as we went out to get supplies and it was so slow emptying I checked and saw the gunk)Perfect for staying with great view and comfy. We ate out so don’t know how good kitchen equipment was. Would recommend the Steamer for meals as very good value

Accommodation had everything we needed. To be able to look at the sea each morning from the comfort of the lounge was amazing and something that we never tired of.
