My family and I had a wonderful stay in July. The hotel offered fantastic amenities and great swimming pools, although we found it a bit inconvenient to walk to the spa in the hotel across the road. There's a strict rule about children swimming at certain hours, which can be challenging for parents to explain. The bistro restaurant was delightful with good service, but the main restaurant's reception felt a bit unfriendly. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with minor areas for improvement.

I had a mixed experience during my stay at this hotel. On the plus side, the hotel was beautifully positioned and had plenty of parking available. The room was spacious and nicely decorated, and the spa facilities were a highlight. However, the dining options left a lot to be desired, particularly with limited choices and inconsistent service. It was disappointing that we struggled to find suitable meals, especially for my granddaughter.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel; while the check-in was smooth and the decor impressed me, the dining options left a lot to be desired. The rooms were adequate in size but lacked sufficient amenities to justify the price. The service was lacking, particularly when it came to food availability and response times. Overall, I would caution families and those expecting high-quality dining experiences to think twice before booking here.

I had a lovely time at this hotel, enjoying its charming seaside location and beautiful views. The staff were incredible and made my stay comforting, but the dining experience could use some improvements in service speed and food freshness. The facilities, especially the spa and pools, were truly delightful, just a bit of a letdown with the breakfast not meeting my expectations.

This hotel has gorgeous views and is well-situated for exploring the seaside town. The amenities are impressive, especially the spa and breakfast offerings, but there are significant drawbacks with the dining options and room designs. There's room for improvement in terms of service consistency, especially in the restaurant area, which can detract from what is otherwise a lovely stay.
