Unfortunately the hot water ran out after 3 showers and there were 5 of us. Another disappointment was that the sauna and steam room were not communal and separated into male and female so my husband and I couldn’t use them together. Friendly reception staff, couldn’t do enough for us. Food at breakfast was quality and plenty of choice. Food in the restaurant for dinner was lovely and we appreciated the unusual menus over Xmas. I would definitely recommend the resort as we had an amazing stay overall.
