Great location, although a bit overpriced during summer months.

Pros: Good amenities and activities throughout the day, wide range of food to choose from during all meals, very close to the beach and with lots of nice places to walk around.

Cons: The advertisement for the on-site activities could be a bit better and easier to handle, as currently you'd need to go to reception, but you're not supposed to go in your swimming suite. Unfortunately, if you're at the pool and suddenly realise that you'd like to play something, it's a bit difficult to dry on the spot and change just to go into the lobby and ask for the relevant sport material.

fantastic holiday, we plan to repeat it

Pros: My daughter and I loved the hotel, excellent breakfast and lunches. The indoor pool was super nice and Veronika loved the kids club and I enjoyed the exercise program every day at 10 am. These programs were a lovely bonus to already pleasant stay. We loved the maintained garden around with everything blooming in February. Felt very welcomed and comfortable here. We plan to return again hopefully in next few years.

The hotel was ideally located for the off-season break I wanted with my dog.

Pros: Plenty of space in the bedroom, comfortable bed and good TV reception. 4 of the 5 nights were very quiet in the hotel, ideal for my nervous dog. Friday night was busier, but as the room was near the end of the corridor we still had a quiet night

Cons: On Booking.com the hotel says \

Comfortable and convenient

Pros: We loved the room and hotel. Reception was not the most pleasant when we arrived but maybe it was an off day. Our work event was amazing with great food, drinks and service.

Cons: Nothing comes to mind

Good experience overall

Pros: The beach, the weather and spa facilities were really good. The hotel was tranquil, and the garden was a bliss.

Cons: The food was pretty standard, not very exciting. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel for 2 days and was not impressed with any of them.

Short stay in a beautiful place

Pros: Big place! Warm swimming pool and jacuzzi. Room, breakfast, easy parking, seaside location, although far from any town. Typical resort! Customer service was amazing! they even gave me a big bottle of water during check out!

Cons: It is a big place, so breakfast / dinner can be full of people.

Good experience for families! Recommended :)

Pros: The location is great! Breakfast was decent, loads of options. The aqua sliders are great fun for the kids, especially the older ones. Decent size pools. Really good experience all in all.

Cons: A bit too crowded and consequently noisy, but this is to be expected they only had 3 more rooms available for the night.

Pros: Everything. Great location, spacious rooms and very comfortable beds, fantastic amenities, very good meals, and above all, excellent reception, bar, restaurant, pool, house and cleaning staff, who went that extra mile to make it a most enjoyable and relaxing few days.
