10/10 Exceptional! (70 reviews)
Loved the hotel the staff and the facilities. Only things I would have liked would have been a door between the bedroom and the bathroom and maybe cheaper drink prices at the pool bar. Loved sitting there chatting with Chris but wine was very overpriced. Otherwise we loved everything about the hotel 😊
