"Dinner was hit and missed in their restaurant, not expected in a Westin. The grill by the pool that’s not included is excellent. Love how close the beach is and amenities are great. Our double bed room is a bit too small, no table/ chair to sit. Staff are helpful."

"This hotel is located 5min by foot to the beach, where we were able to see beautiful sunsets everyday. I love the spa and the swimming pool that they have. They also have a tennis court but I didn’t have the chance to use this time. Every staff we encountered during our stay was kind and helpful. Will definitely come back to this hotel in the future !"

"Overall had a Nice pleasant Stay, didn’t use the pool area but looked nice small area the sun beds seemed close to each other, Rubbish view we had from our room of the air conditioning units and staff car park so couldn’t enjoy the balcony due to the noise of that luckily couldn’t hear it in the room. Small ants seemed a daily occurrence in the bathroom on the floor, (couple of cracked floor tiles and needs re grouting) The corridors could be brighter and hoovered to be more presentable walking to rooms, The rug in room clearly never moved to be hoovered under. Mini Bar fridge the worse I’ve ever come across doesn’t get cold told this is normal and they don’t get below 12c so pretty pointless maybe invest in some actual decent fridges so guests can put water in them at least! Breakfast choices limited same stuff every day hot food not hot even the fresh stuff brought out was cold got bored of the selection a few days in glad didn’t bother with the evening buffet they were advertising imagine it’s equally poor Car parking advertised on Hotels website at €5 uncovered a night they are actually charging €6.50 a night it’s also advertised that it’s free in Oct but it’s not they are still charging, there is a free large car park down the road but for ease and security wanted to park car at the hotel"

"The property was great and a good location. Walking distance to many amenities and short drives to more touristy options. There was a large public beach close by and the pool was so nice (though it didn’t really have a shallow end). My only issue was the entire property is self stocking so when we arrived only a few bathrooms had things like soap and toilet paper, so we had to immediately run out. And there weren’t enough chairs at the outdoor table. We had an issue with the GPS finding the address, but we were able to figure it out from the images. Someone came by to check in on us this first day as well which was nice"

"we had a great stay. The house was clean and nice, and a short walk to the beach, restaurants and shops. The outdoor area was nice with plenty of space to enjoy the sun and dinner in the evening. What we were not happy with was the basement, it was damp and smelled of fungus. No ventilation or emergency exits. We also experienced a lot of cockroaches in the basement and in the kitchen."
