Lovely couples getaway

We enjoyed 5 wonderful days here, making use of the hotel facilities and exploring the local area. The outdoor pool and bar area are fantastic. The indoor pool and spa needs some improvement - while the pool itself is large with comfortable loungers around it, the jacuzzi barely functions and the steam room didn't work at all. The bedrooms are very comfortable and generously sized with balconies and a mini bar fridge. A kettle service is advertised to make tea and coffee in your room, but although we asked for it on the first day it only arrived on dsy 4 of a 5 night stay. Breakfast is average, and the evening meal is OK but lacking in atmosphere, whereas there a multiple fantastic restaurants in walking distance which I would recommend using instead.

Property is ok but check what you are booking. I went for a suite expecting normal extras but standard bed in a big room. My fault for not checking. Pool area is excellent but be careful, tiled area very slippery, one guy suffered a bad head injury when he slipped up. Tivira is lovely and this hotel offers an excellent position for looking around. Would i stay again? probably but I would be more careful about what i was getting. Oh, and when I checked out I complained about no instant coffee in the room... apparently you have to request it.
