Lovely holiday, great trips out with helpful friendly drivers Scott and Richard, would have been better in one of the more luxurious coaches as we slept overnight on them. Hotel needs shower rooms updating, but rest is clean and comfortable and situated in a very nice location, mountains behind sea in front and shops/bars 10 minutes walk. Would definitely go again!
