8Verified guest“We were welcomed by friendly, professional staff from the moment we arrived. The luxury amenities were impressive, especially the spa and wellness centre, where we treated ourselves to a full body massage and beauty session. The sun terrace was a lovely place to relax and be entertained. The hotel's restaurant impressed with delicious food and plenty of choice, and our in-room breakfast was a highlight — fresh ingredients and careful presentation. The private touches and great location rounded off a memorable stay.”
