The property is in an excellent location close to the beach. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the cocktails are some of the best anywhere. Our biggest disappointment was the room. It was quite small and there was no air conditioning at a time when the humidity was at its highest. There was a fan but that was useless because it was so noisy. We also reported that the extractor fan in the toilet wasn't working which added to the heat, but it never got repaired. When we left i asked if they had rooms with aircon and was told yes they do have some. When paying over £625 a night for accomodation, food and drink, I would have expected at least that!

Lovely property. Well maintained, beautiful landscaping. Room was nice, a little warm but hotel provided fans. Would have liked to have planned a spa day, but they were fully booked. Food was wonderful, especially breakfast. View of bay was excellent. Staff were incredible and professional. Lasting memories for our few days we spent there.

Lovely and quiet hotel with great sea view. The bed was super comfortable and the staff was very friendly! Some interior and the outdoor pool area could be more modern, in my opinion. The breakfast was good, but could have had more options to choose from. Besides that, everything was excellent! Thank you so much!

A mini break

The room I stayed in had no air conditioning so had a few nights of uncomfortable sleep. I was not aware at the time of booking that not all rooms had air conditioning in them . Staff were very helpful & friendly & service was exceptional.

Property was very nice, but I think it would look a lot better if they cut all the ivy-which is all over it at the back there was no glass in the bathroom to rinse your mouth with and there is no shelf to put all the towels on. They are just shoved on top of a radiator overall not what I expected sorry.
