The outside location was beautiful! But…We did not like our room at all though. Our outside window faced someone else’s window. It seemed very creepy. We did not have a view at all ! Our room seemed dark and outdated. We did not like our room at all!

A stunning spot.

Staff were superb. The food was of a high quality. The room was without a view and airless - even with the window open and the doors were noisy and so sleep is disturbed. The setting is stunning. Children were allowed to run around and play in the lounge and bar area. Suggest an activity space for them so they are not allowed to disturb other guests.

Not a 4 star hotel.

Very stuffy in the room if the weather is warm. No air conditioning in rooms, windows only open a couple of centimeters. Bathrooms very old, space around toilet is cramped for anyone with mobility issues. Shower was very small and the shower head was was not high enough, had to shower basically crouched over. Hotel is right on the coast. Weather I was there the beach was very busy. Car park totally taken up with people clearly not staying at the hotel. Had to park on verge. Not up to a modern 4 star specification.

We checked in at 7:45 only to learn the swimming pool closed at 8. Then we made it to our room booked for three people to find everything set up for two. We tried to call down but the phone was broken. We were so tired and laid on the beds to then realize the wedding going on below was right under our room and the swinging door banged directly under our beds reverberating up. Oh yay. We went downstairs to see what could be done and they tried to keep it propped open but it never lasted long. Then the band started up. The evening staff were mortified and apologized but asked us to deal with the day manager. We did this in the morning but she was unperturbed and would only offer us free drinks before leaving - at 10am in the morning. In fairness, the breakfast was excellent.
