The hotel is in a fantastic beach side location and is very well designed. When we booked, everything looked so serene and our experience of the hotel, facilities and service was excellent. The only thing to be really aware of is many of the rooms overlook the small pool and during our stay, this was used by very noisy children from 7.30am to 9.30pm so it wasn't really possible to relax in the room without interruption from screaming children. We're from a generation where we were taught to play quietly but these days, parental control is completely lacking and spoiled our enjoyment of the hotel. Next time, we'll specifically choose and adults only place and we did ask the hotel to perhaps impose noise rules on the pool early morning and late evenings. Cannot fault the hotel at all so 5 stars all round.
