the spa really needs to be refurbished, but treatments ok! :-)

with excellent facilities: room, restaurants, spa and gym

vegetarian food excellent. spa was wonderful.

to the reviews we had read prior to booking - amazing buffet for breakfast in particular - great spa facilities

one thing to be noted is that the hotel does not have a 'secluded' wellness/spa area and does not offer massage

think a spa would make it perfect

truly beautiful, including a mini botanic garden, beautiful historic house , wonderful pool and spa area

the hotel also offers valet parking and complementary shuttle bus to and from the city at specific hours

faculties such as pools, spa good

pools to swim, outdoor and indoor, also spa, jacuzzis, sauna, steam

the lack of coffee maker in room and the terrible coffee available at breakfast

there are a couple of bars though they don t tend to get busy so sometimes you have to track down a staff

it was great to have access to indoor, outdoor and the spa facilities all included in the cost

the room is spacious, light and reflects the blue hues of the sea view

it's a good hotel with slightly dated spa facilities

gym has been relocated and not really adequate and similarly parts of spa out of action

the spa also offers amazing massages - tried and tested

the spa and the pools need renovation.

the room was a haven of comfort, featuring a private swimming pool with ocean views

the private concierge messenger was a bit late with our room service at the day of departure but they made up

although there apparently was a list of cost we decided not to check before asking for laundry service

location with a splendid garden and two nice swimming pools, good breakfast and restaurant quality, the retro

perhaps the breakfast could have more variety, day to day.

one member of the staff said parking card wasn t mandatory but the other insisted on getting one for a 5 euro

staff were very accommodating. spa and rooftop pool were amazing as well.

the sauna, and the pool were a bit cold in the turkish spa area.

the roof top pool was a dream as well as the spa inside

the views were breathtaking, the pool was huge and had lots os space to rest, and the architecture of the hotel

indoor pool and spa is nice, although for me the water was a bit cold

has potential and space to upgrade with full spa facilities but all a little tired and underwhelming at the

good quiet bar and dining available if you want to stay in the hotel for the evening

we stayed for the entire booking - 7 nights and nothing was resolved wifi never worked

cold pool, jacuzzi closed

mediocre to bad wifi in an otherwise great hotel might have kept them from a 5 out of 5 rating

spa was a little cold but staff amazing and felt amazing after treatments,due to covid the hot tub

spa was really nice everything clean

amenities were fantastic, specially the spa great breakfast buffet excellent staff

the jacuzzi in the spa was also not warm enough

very clean and we had access to the spa facilities included

free spa admission with a steam room and turkish bath complimentary

spa is great

the spa area, only has a small pool, nothing else

spa treatments also have to be pre-booked

pool and spa area is very disappointing

is no spa and the pool is very small hence i would say calling the hotel a spa is misleading

nice indoor spa pool available for sole use by appointment

the swimming pool is tiny but probably ok for kids

loved the nice pool, with a perfect view around an the cool bar where we could have a drink sitting on a barchair

breakfast was varied and good
