"A well maintained room (regularly cleaned, fresh towels etc), with a lovely view from the balcony. I only saw staff on my arrival following a 30 minute wait ( no answer to my phone calls). While this wasn't really an issue during my stay, a higher visibility/availability might be needed at some point."

"Me and my elderly dad had a great week here. Perfect location on the beach with a great pool. All kept very clean. The spa was great too. The staff were wonderful and accommodating and the rooms had great balconies to sit and read. The only thing which could be improved was the food offered - just not as nice as other places and the shower in the bathroom was a bit of a pain - try to shower without turning your bathroom into a swimming pool! We would definitely return and would recommend this hotel. No problems for my dad walking around the complex and he loved his week there."
