high dispenserneeded clean
the bathroom layout presented challenges. the hot towel rail was dangerously close to the toilet, my child almost grabbed it. the soap dispenser was so high i could hardly reach it. i also found the room wasn't as clean as i expected, it needed a deeper clean.

Breakfast provided a selection of cereals and fruit.
The room was not prepared as expected. The second bed did not have proper linens, not acceptable given the cost.

Family time success

spacious roomlovely breakfasthelpful staff
The room were spacious for teenagers with parents. Breakfast offered nice choices. I did walk to the beach easily in five minutes. Staff were helpful and really went the extra mile for my family.
The towel rail in bathroom was very hot, a safety concern with children. I felt its positioning near the toilet wasn't ideal.
