Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool. The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own.

A really really good hotel with great facilities. The pools, the restaurant, the breakfasts, the nearby beaches, the quality of the beds, the helpful annd friendly staff, etc. all very very good and a great place to relax. The only downside is that it has some visitors with loud grating accents. And it could do with more sun-bed space by the pool, as often “full up” later in the day
