The breakf (Read More)ast was superb with options for all diets, while the evening meal received mixed reviews. The spa treatments were excellent, and staff were friendly and helpful.

    Poor
    Very disappointed with the hotel, location was good but it is no where near worth the 400 per night we paid.
    Location Brilliant and the Pool was Ok
    Very dated inside, rooms very basic not even air con, a fridge or mini bar. Very expensive for what you get and they charge extra 20 per night to park and also they charge extra on an already paid for breakfast on certain items
