I returned home yesterday from a 5 night stay and this beautiful hotel. When you first pull up at the hotel entrance you just know your going to have a lovely time. On entering the hotel bags are put through a security scanner, which may alarm some people, but it's actually there to give all hotel guests peace of mind during their stay. Check in was quick and easy, and my bags where carried to my room for me. My only criticism this far is that I was not shown how to work the safe, and I ended up locking it shut and unable to open it, luckily I'd tested it first before putting anything in it. My sea view room was huge, with amazing views across the pools to the sea. Unfortunately there was no literature in my room regarding the hotel, no maps, restaurant times, A la Cart booking process, pool opening/closing times, or snack times. If you like a coffee or tea in your room it's a good idea to take your own, as there is only herbal teas on the trays in the rooms. Bottled water is left in room fridges. The beds are very comfortable and the pillows are big enough to just use one. The bathroom had everything I needed, shower Gel, shampoo, conditioner, liquid soap, and hand cream. The halls are carpeted so there is no noise from other people going back to their rooms late at night. The hotel was spotless clean throughout, and smoking was done outside which I was glad about. The restaurant had a great selection of foods, there was something to suit everyone. I had the same waiter for 5 days and he would always have my drink ready for me when I entered the restaurant, the service was excellent by all the restaurant staff. The temperature was between 18/20 degrees, with one rainy day. On that day I treated myself to a relaxing massage, which I highly recommend. The indoor pool, sauna and gym are at the back of the hotel in a separate build which not many people know is there and free to use, you only pay for the treatments if you wish to book any. There is a lifeguard at the indoor pool which I was surprised to see, especially as it's out of season. There are plenty of beds around the 2 outdoor pools and down on the beach, and waiting staff will still come down on the beach to take your drink orders. There was security and a lifeguard down on the beach. There was various entertainment in the Lobby lounge area up until 9.30pm, when some form of show would be put on by the entertainment team in the conference room, however I chose to stay in the lounge. The lobby/lounge has a high ceiling so it can get a little loud and echos, but it's a bright pleasent space and the waiting staff are very quick and attentive, and work hard. All in all, I had a wonderful relaxing time. This is definitely a hotel to go to if you just want to relax and peacefully unwind. It was that nice I've just booked to go back next Feb 😁
