“Comfortable well run hotel”
This is a well run hotel in an excellent location. We stayed for a week half board in late May. The rooms are large and well equipped, staff work hard and all without exception were pleasant and helpful. Food was buffet style and good quality. The beach is a few minutes walk away and is great for long walks.

Good amenities and activities throughout the day, wide range of food to choose from during all meals, very close to the beach and with lots of nice places to walk around.

“fantastic holiday, we plan to repeat it”
My daughter and I loved the hotel, excellent breakfast and lunches. The indoor pool was super nice and Veronika loved the kids club and I enjoyed the exercise program every day at 10 am. These programs were a lovely bonus to already pleasant stay. We loved the maintained garden around with everything blooming in February. Felt very welcomed and comfortable here. We plan to return again hopefully in next few years.

“Terrible”
Breakfast was okay only. Noisiest place I have ever stayed in. External facilities was- NOTHING open at all, completely isolated at this time of year.

“The hotel was ideally located for the off-season break I wanted with my dog.”
Plenty of space in the bedroom, comfortable bed and good TV reception. 4 of the 5 nights were very quiet in the hotel, ideal for my nervous dog. Friday night was busier, but as the room was near the end of the corridor we still had a quiet night

“Comfortable and convenient”
We loved the room and hotel. Reception was not the most pleasant when we arrived but maybe it was an off day. Our work event was amazing with great food, drinks and service.

Very spacious room with great view of golf course exceeded our expectations. It was very quiet although families with kids were staying next to us, dinner and breakfast buffets were crowded and loud but with great selection of everything, you could possibly want to eat and drink.
