Great stay in the family room with our teenage boys. Lovely room and great shower. Hot breakfast to order was very nice and plenty of coffee and cold breakfast options. Enjoyed the pool, jacuzzi and sauna and tried the cold water did in the sea which was encouraged and a cold experience. All staff very nice and great service throughout. Would love to return in future. Thank you.

Beautiful sea view room. The only downside to this hotel was that it has low water pressure in the shower and no drinking water in the room and had to go to the bar if you wanted any.
