Beautiful hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with alot of choice. I would have given 5 stars but we had to ask for essential toiletries ,extra robe and unfortunately there was no acknowledgement of a big birthday celebration ! All in all a lovely couple of nights with family in a beautiful hotel with spectacular scenery by the sea.

Love this hotel

Amazing stay as always. Welcoming reception staff on arrival. Wished our son a happy birthday. Clean room and nice touch having bathrobes for all the family. Spa facilities great and very clean. We had free cupcakes delivered to the room for my son’s birthday which was a nice touch. Good selection of food at breakfast. We will definitely be back.
