We had a very relaxed stay. We loved the 2 hours of spa (can be busy in the evening), the padel club, the kids pool was great for the little once. I believe they been working on their interior because the breakfast furniture is new. 4 days a week a ‘kids club’ from 17.00-21.30, great for diner.

The private beach is paid. Would not leave the kids alone in the kids club because there is only 1 nanny and our kids are too small, maybe for older kids ok.

The pool was closed due to the time of year, but the spa was open and what a great place to go and relax. The general hotel facilities are really good and the staff are all happy to welcome & help in any way. This is a fantastic retreat away from the busy city center.

The location of the hotel is up a hill and away from the coastal road, and i did'nt see may places to walk to or eat in. The hotel resturant has very good food & drinks menu, although it is expensive. especially as their is not many alternative places to go within walking distance.

The room had a very large bathroom with a convenient walk-in shower, the view onto the sea was beautiful from the room's balcony. The staff was very attentive to our requests at breakfast. The hotel grounds and breakfast terrace are truly beautiful. The spa was very relaxing.

The beds were too firm for our taste. The hotel building's facade could do with some painting/renovation.

The garden was really nice and we liked the spa too. The staff of the hotel was extremely helpful and polite in every department!

The breakfast could have been a bit more healthy by adding some salad and some vegetables. I expected a bit of variety each day and not every day the same thing. E.g. scrambled eggs one day and fried, poached or boiled eggs on another day. Some parts of the hotel (toilet in the basement) were not clean enough, sticky floor etc.

Very good restaurant for dinner. Comfortable room, but overlooking entrance to hotel, so some noise from there. Lovely garden area and pools to be used during the season. Was sorry not to try the spa!

Construction work was taking place on the hotel entrance driveway so that was noisy and intrusive. Breakfast was disappointing on second morning as items had been finished and not replenished. Bathroom door was squeaking and needed oil!

We are coming often here, so Its still same. Nice hotel in nature,nice spa, pool very nice And hot temperature. I think breakfast is now a bit better than before. Was good.

We didnt like that you have only 2 hours per day in spa, Because if someone is inn house guest it should be posible to come anytime and for how long they want. I understand guests who not stay in hotel that they should pay and come only for two hours . But for exclusive inn house guests who has always only vip master suite etc should be entramce of spa anytime automatically thing. Also was pitty that we wanted stay for little time in spa after our check out But it wasnt posible here and in other hotels is normall thing. That you make check out , you wait your flight for example so you can wait and spent your time in spa. So they should simple much more better treat customers.

Very spacious place and room, breakfast was very good. Facilities (e.g. pool) looked nice but we did not use them as it was a short stay. Clean room and very late (after midnight) check in was not a problem. We saw that there was kids club and activities but we did not use them.

Common spaces looks a bit old and too empty

The sauna and.pool facilities were very nice, relaxing and maintained. I visited in May, not peak season so it was not crowded making it ideal and easy to book and have your own space. Most of the facilities outside were closed due to rainy weather duing my stay, so cant comment on that. Its an old hotel and some decor are outdated. Overall, pleasaent quiet stay that was ideal for business trip. Restaurant was convenient and the food was good.

The decor and odd open unused space was very outdated.
