The main and original part of this property looks a little tired not least because of the sparsely furnished lobby and large traditionally decorated activity ‘tent’ in the middle of the grounds. A more recent wing, with rooms surrounding the pool, has retained a smart glean.

The beach is wide and is backed by a jumble of dive and surf centres which add to the character. A definite appeal to sporting enthusiasts with few facilities for families with young children.
