A lovely spot, excellent food and the staff were very helpful
Excellent stay hotel was welcoming clean and great atmosphere ,food had great choice for lunch and dinner service was and staff very helpful
Great hotel right on the beach would recommend and will be returning soon
Thanks for a great stay.
I loved the relaxed vibe, the friendly staff and the location right on the beach. It’s a bit retro, but in all the good ways. It was just lacking a seafront pool and a shower for the thermal spa. Fantastic food.
We had an amazing stay, the hotel and staff are fabulous. The spa is a little on the small side and when busy doesn’t offer many areas to escape everyone, but the treatments are fantastic and well worth the money. Overall a fantastic stay! Thank you, we will be back!
My room and en suite were spotless. The bed was very comfortable.
The waiting staff were charming and very, unobtrusively efficient.
We felt the hotel was undoubtedly well managed.
I.have no.hesitation in commanding it to others.
We'll be back !
Great hotel and stay. Can't fault it...friendly & helpful staff, tasty evening meal & breakfast, comfortable room, with fantastic sea view and enjoyable spa facilities (worth the additional payment)!
Staff were very friendly, food was very tasty. Will defo be back

The toilet in my room kept dripping all night and woke me up at least 4 times. Breakfast was meh with stale pastries and really small plates. Staff was nice but nothing else was.
Lovely Hotel with friendly staff and good food.
However, restaurant staff need more training as several times mistakes were made with our food and drink orders.
Get this done and we would have given top marks.
We did enjoy our three days break.
Friendly and accommodating staff. Room clean and had everything we needed. Very tasty breakfast with attentive and pleasant staff service.
I would recommend this hotel.
