Beautiful venue with some areas for improvement
My wife and I stayed here for a babymoon. Our overall experience was very positive and we would stay again however, there are a few areas for improvement. We found the spa facilities lacking compared to other similarly-rated hotels: the pool temperature was rather cold and sunloungers were uncomfortable. Access to spa facilities was highly limited without paying extra (such as for the jacuzzi). Housekeeping was good, but some polishing in a few places would help. Quality of the food was excellent and staff most welcoming. Value for money overall was reasonable but not great.

This place was fantastic. From the minute we arrived we had help with luggage and physical challenges. Gerard was great. The bar was also wonderful. The room was quite large as was the bathroom. Can’t wait to stay there again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!
I absolutely loved my stay here. The services were amazing. I arrived late in the evening and was greeted at my parked car and offered assistance with getting the luggage up to the hotel.
The food in both the bar and restaurant was excellent.
The room was comfy.
I would most definitely stay here again and recommend to others.
