We loved room 114 with a balcony and jacuzzi bath. The food - breakfast and dinner - were wonderful and the staff invariably charming (especially Manuel). The spa was excellent with a decent pool, steam room and sauna and a gym, all of which we used. A brilliant little holiday.

The hotel is lovely, staff are friendly and helpful. The hotel room was very clean. The breakfast has plenty of choice with healthy options available. The waiters and waitresses were lovely. My only issue was with the facilities. We specifically chose this hotel for the outdoor hydropool as we've stayed here before and it was amazing, however when we got there the hydropool was closed. This was very disappointing as we were not told that the some of the facilities were not available, if we had been informed we would have liked to have rescheduled for a different day so we could fully enjoy the time.
