The restaurant food is fantastic, and the breakfast offered is delicious with fruit and modern food offered, as example. The location is marvellous, close enough to the restaurant that is highly recommended, the sea and the communal areas such as stairways and landings which do n't seem to have had too much TLC in recent times.
