9.4/10 Exceptional! (201 reviews)
Our second stay, room a little tired. The breakfast is very good, staff helpful and friendly. We loved the adults only pool. The only this that spoilt it was the penny pinching attitude to in-room drinks; charging €1 each for tea bags is beyond mean! We went out and bought our own.
