First class in every aspect. Staff were brilliant and the property is as described. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We would recommend the half-board option, simply because of the quality of the food and its price. There are plenty of food options elsewhere but you couldnt beat the quality and service. Highly recommended.

We loved this hotel. The staff were really friendly and attentive. The rooms were cleaned thoroughly each day. The pool area is lovely and it is easy to get sun loungers at pretty much any time of the day. There are steps next to the pool area which take you straight down to a beautiful beach. The food in the restaurant was great and there was lots of variety, each night there were plenty of vegetarian options as well as fish dishes for example. My partner has a peanut allergy and the chefs were helpful and accommodating with this. We booked a massage with the beautician that is based in the hotel which was excellent and really relaxing. The only slight issue we had was that our room was on a lower floor below a bar next door to the hotel and the music kept us up on one of the nights, but this isn't really in the hotel's control. Overall, we had an excellent stay.

This hotel is in great location. Direct beach access via a stair way . Close to town but away from the noisy night life so great balance . We had an early check in offered to us which was kind . The interior of hotel has a unique design - it would be great in the winter months with a pretty interior fountain and seating . We had half board at a great price included in our package. The full price listing at 29 euros each was very expensive in my opinion and you could eat out locally for a lot less . The restaurant had a lovely view and outside seating. All the staff in this hotel were friendly and helpful. Very limited parking but we got free parking on the road in a walkable distance.

I would give this hotel a mixed review. Lots of great things overall though: good food and drinks, beautiful interior and grounds, love the easy access to beach and the yard with beach chairs, wonderful salon and spa. Our room was so disappointing though. The hotel has a very luxurious feel, but it’s an instant let down when you enter your room. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable, old flat pillows, only instant coffee, no face cloths. It just felt like a very basic and cheap hotel room.

The double room we reserved and pre-paid, had garden access, but smelt of damp/mould/mildew with an acrid cleaning chemical odor note Accepted another room, even though it was at a lower tarrif and had a sewage smell in the bathroom, the Manager demanded we sign a NDA document, and never offered to compensate in any way Despite staying almost a week and paying for a second room (occupied by family members), the Manager treated us with distain, and avoided us on check-out. One doesn’t need this arrogant attitude and rude approach when paying good money for a below-average Hotel
