"This was a return visit after discovering this hotel last year. Once again we had a fabulous stay. The resort is simply lovely, as are all the staff. I cant recommend staying here highly enough. The only slight negative i would stay is the gardens walk from the beach can be a little demanding if you have had a long day on tbe beach, however plenty of benches to take a rest if needed. Book now, you won't regret it !"

"The staff were amazing - welcoming, friendly, cheerful, just lovely to be around. The food was amazing. The 4 cheese tortellini in particular was out of this world. The only issue I had was the striped carpet on the stairs. For some reason, it was really disorienting. I thought it was just me (I recently got new vari-focal glasses) but my husband thought the same."

Would have liked mirrors in the room which weren't blurred in order to do make up. Otherwise a nice stay for a treat. Not a cheap option but would go back."
