"Felt very clean and upmarket, staff were friendly, and the room was luxurious and spacious. Be mindful, though, that extras can get quite expensive - the spa (100€+), renting a bed at the beach (50-80€), food (60-80€+ for 2), etc."

"Fantastic hotel. Brilliant breakfast Lovely rooms. I would’ve scored it higher, but the pool area lets it down. Broken sunbeds, very tired area. Like I said the breakfast was brilliant, but we had an evening meal in the restaurant and it was poor! Definitely not worth the €25 per head"
