I loved the relaxed vibe, the friendly staff and the location right on the beach. It’s a bit retro, but in all the good ways. It was just lacking a seafront pool and a shower for the thermal spa. Fantastic food.

We had an amazing stay, the hotel and staff are fabulous. The spa is a little on the small side and when busy doesn’t offer many areas to escape everyone, but the treatments are fantastic and well worth the money. Overall a fantastic stay! Thank you, we will be back!

Lovely Hotel with friendly staff and good food. However, restaurant staff need more training as several times mistakes were made with our food and drink orders. Get this done and we would have given top marks. We did enjoy our three days break.
