"First of all, staff were so amazing! Very polite and helpful and nothing was too much of an issue to them! Property was very well maintained and spotless! Food was amazing and plenty of options for seating. Pool looked lovely, as well as lots of variety in activities however unfortunately I was unable to make the most of it during my short stay. Room was very well sized and bed was very comfortable. Shower was well sized and got to temperature quickly. Plenty of natural light in the room and very effective shutters for sleeping. I would thoroughly recommend the property and would definitely book here again if I was in the area!"
