I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff were exceptionally friendly, making me feel right at home. The rooms were clean, modern, and spacious, providing a comfy retreat after a busy day exploring. The pool and gym were great additions to the experience, but I was slightly disappointed with the dining options available at breakfast. Overall, I felt it offered good value for money in a great location near the beach.

I had a lovely spa day experience at this hotel, despite a few hiccups like the pool being out of order. The staff, especially Tamara at the front desk, were incredibly friendly and accommodating. Our cream tea was delightful, and the spa facilities were clean and tidy, though somewhat cozy. Overall, it was a nice treat, but I wouldn't recommend planning an entire spa day due to the limited amenities.

I had a mixed experience during my stay. The hotel offers a nice spa vibe with a cozy atmosphere, and I enjoyed the massage and the cream tea. However, the noise levels from the event and general disturbances were frustrating. And while the facilities looked appealing, there were some issues that detracted from the overall experience, like limited amenities and noise during the night.

I recently stayed at this hotel for a short trip, and while there were some highlights, I had my share of disappointments as well. The rooms were clean and nicely modernized, which I appreciated, but the soundproofing was quite poor, ruining my sleep on several nights. The location is superb, just a walk away from the beach and restaurants, but the dining experience left much to be desired in terms of quality. Overall, it's a mixed bag with potential but needs improvements in certain areas.
