10/10 Excellent

"My room was absolutely spotless and the bed was extremely comfortable. The view of the bay was incredible. The staff were friendly, polite and professional. There was a huge selection for the breakfast and children had their own corner to choose food. I loved having a facial at the Spa with organic seaweed products used on my skin. The gym, swimming pool and sauna were well equipped and spotlessly clean. I loved the lift down to the Spa, so you could get dressed in your room and put a robe on without going through the main entrance. All in all, everything was perfect."
