Possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! The design is impeccable, every detail is well thought out and looks absolutely beautiful. We had a balcony room which was simply gorgeous, it felt like the best room in town - very spacious, calm, wonderful view. All the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Truly a perfect stay and would already love to return.

This is my third stay here after deciding to visit every year on my birthday three years ago. The hotel is wonderful - the decor is warm and cosy but stylish. I loved my room and that sea view is unbeatable. The breakfast is delicious and incredibly generous - I always get the full English but the juices, pastries and other bits at the buffet are also great. I also had the most amazing massage and facial at the spa! The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.
