The hotel and grounds were amazing, it was among one of the nicest places we have stayed at. The hotel itself is stunning, and the scenery is even better. We loved the pool, spa, and the facilities it offered. We had dinner at the restaurant and it was very good.

    The location is absolutely stunning. It is right on the beach with fantastic views. We went for a walk at suntan was unforgettable. The hotel itself is very cosy and cute with great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and accommodation. I would also highly recommend the restaurant. The food at dinner was great! Breakfast was also lovely. Takeaway lunch was somewhat disappointing, but not a deal-breaker. We have noted it down for our next trip and will recommend to friends!
