Our second time staying here, love the space which you get with an apartment with excellent bathroom facilities. The pool area is great with plenty of plants and grass to break up the sun beds. The restaurant is also lovely. The gym is a good size too, it would however benefit from some more equipment.

A great place to stay

The hotel and pool areas were exceptional. The breakfast offered a wide choice and the seating areas were delightful. The staff were We were upgraded to an apartment for our stay and although the accommodation was spacious and comfortable, the room was dark and the balcony was opposite a road which could be noisy at times. Having said that, I would still recommend this hotel as a great place to stay but in our experience the accommodation upgrade was at the expense of the location of the room.
