The hotel is excellent. The room was very comfortable and allowed me to relax. The food at breakfast and dinner was excellent. The setting looking to the sea is superb, watching the waves roll in, just brilliant. The only downside is the parking can be tricky, due to the number of cars.

An Excellent hotel. Breakfast was excellent and the evening meal was exceptional. The room was spacious and facilities were very good, including pool, steam room and sauna although the spa was actually a large hot tub, which for me was ok but my wife has mobility issues and was unable to climb in and out as there was no steps inside the hot tub. That small issue aside, we had a very enjoyable stay, helped by a fantastic location and very helpful staff
