We arrived for a weeks holiday on the 8th July. Was disappointed on arrival at 12pm to be informed check in was at 2pm so we would need to come back later, but they did store our cases which we were pleased about. So hotel itself is ok, location is good, some great views from the restaurant whilst having breakfast or dinner. Breakfast was served 7-10 and had everything you could want, cooked breakfast, pastries, cereal, fruit you name it, what was good to you could help yourselves to drinks free of charge, fresh juices or coffees and even syrups to add. Dinner was 7-9pm and again can’t fault the food at all. Always multiple meat options, lots of salads, pasta, pizza, a full range. Unlike breakfast though you had to pay for your drinks and they aren’t that cheap. We headed to the local supermarket 500m away from the hotel and brought everything we needed at a much cheaper rate (also made a picnic daily for lunch) hotel room was pretty standard, no iron, but has a hairdryer and body wash is provided. Air con was great, and room was cleaned everyday with fresh towels. We used the gym every day and the spa which as fab, only frustrating thing is that they don’t open till 8am, so we would run in the mornings. The views are well worth it. The indoor pool is salt water, unsure on the outside pool as we didn’t use it. We would head out to the beached area (stones/rocks) and sunbathe there. Top tip get up early to get yourself a bed, I was up every morning at 6am to read and got 2 beds. The location of the hotel as previously mentioned is so beautiful, lots of places to walk. If you are feeling adventurous then we climbed mountain UCKA and the views at the top are well worth it, but take lots of water, and some parts are very steep. Only downside to the location of this hotel is the fact the pool area and most of the hotel has lost the sun by 3/4pm at the latest, but had sun for breakfast at 7. The staff seemed friendly but we didn’t spend too much time in the hotel. There are a lot of stairs so please be aware of this, 2 lifts that every man and dog want to use all the time. You can occasionally hear dogs barking as they are allowed in the hotel. But on the whole, a good hotel, great food and lovely location (minus the sun disappearing early doors) would I return, yes to the area and probs yes to the hotel. Wouldn’t say it’s 4 stars though. 3.5 at best. Nearly forgot, if you want to travel anywhere to other beaches etc and don’t want to walk, the bus stop is directly outside the hotel. Number 32 bus is what you need.
