Liked: Cleanliness
Immaculately clean room.
Staff in the dinning areas were nonchalant, unsmiling and reluctant to go above and beyond to help. Conversely, the reception staff were polite and helpful.
The hotel offers clean rooms and a very friendly staff, which made the stay pleasant. One of the highlights is the rooftop pool with amazing views. The food is good, although the selection is somewhat limited, and at breakfast there were no pancakes or omelettes available. If you are renting a car, parking can be an issue. Overall, the hotel is a good choice, especially outside of the high season.
Comfortable room, lots of eating options at the hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Would recommend staying here, very clean communal areas. Lovely roof top terrace plenty of comfortable sun beds.

Disliked: Staff & service
The location of this hotel is perfect. SPA area and Roof top pool is beautiful. Rooms are a good size and if you have Sea view it’s a very beautiful view.
Items I did not like.
Bath towels are thread bare almost torn
Tea facilities in both room and restaurants was not brilliant only builders tea available and old kettle in rooms
Food was very tasty in main restaurant but nothing to shout home about. All inclusive drinks are off the tap wine and pre-mix carton cocktails (bring your own if you are fussy)
Members of staff are not that helpful.
It was good value for money and would rate it as a 3 star hotel
