This is a really stylish hotel with beautiful outdoor pool area, good gym, cinema if the weather forces you indoors and friendly staff. At times form appeared to triumph over function (the gap between the tap and sink is so small you can barely fill up a glass let alone kettle) but the rooms feel light and beds spacious.

Very nice hotel, needs looking after more to continue the wonderful decor and ambience. Our room was nice, few concerns with unwashed glassed left in our room, tv wasn't working but was fixed once we raised it. Bed throw was dirty. But otherwise, comfortable nights sleep. Good bed and cosey room. Close to the beach. Lovely pool area outside. Spa is decent for hotel stay too.
