La Lune Beach Resort ★★★
"This hotel isn't bad, it's stylishly designed, and the room is clean and tidy. The only downside is that there's no real beach directly attached to the hotel, and the access is from the sea side. There are no sun loungers, just tables on the sand. When it's high tide, the water comes right up to the hotel entrance, and when it's low tide in the evenings, it recedes about 200 meters, creating space for a walk. Breakfast is mediocre, and the service is too; everyone is a bit slow, but that's okay, it works for a couple of days' stay."

"A great location and nice breakfast area by the beach. Hotel needs a bit of TLC. Room is nice and clean. Dont have swimming pool but there is a lovely beach at the front. If they can provide more table and chairs for guests to sit and relax would be better."

"This hotel tucked away down a side street off the main road is excellently located. Short walk to the main beach and nestled close to dozens of restaurants, cafés and bars. They also do a good breakfast for 100 that. There is a small garden with tables which is pleasant. You can easily walk to the hotel from the Pier ( 5 mins)."
