+Location and private beach.
−Not so much what I didn't like, but the room looked a bit tired, laminate floor coming apart, slightly shabby condition, extractor fan in bathroom humming and not working, mattress had seen better days. Spa looked amazing but lacked a jacuzzi or hydro pool.

“Great stay if the price was lower however because of the price i expected a more premium stay which”
+The view was great very good and the spa access was also great however has small room for improvement as the sauna temp was low and it was full of kids opening and closing sauna and steam room doors. The showers had run out of soap and shampoo too and the pool was pretty chilly.
−The breakfast was terrible. The bed was hard and temp control of the room was a nightmare only provide a small fan.

“stunning beach, great spa but not as nice as in the pictures!”
+the beach of the hotel is stunning -i would go back just for that-. the spa is very good and has a fantastic view. the staff is very kind. the hotel has a good parking.
−the room wasnt that clean -i wiped myself with antibacterial wipes and they came off stained with dust/dirt marks-. the smell on the corridoor and room was unpleasant. apart from this, the hotel to me was absolutely fine but did not look like in the pictures. i think it would be a much better choice to show guests what they are actually going to get.

+Stunning location, felt like we were abroad with the views.
−Our room was nice, but slightly let down by wear and tear marks on the walls, the room was in need of being decorated. The balcony glass was grubby with an abundance of hatching spiders in webs and we had to let reception know we were woken by something scratching under the decking having area at 4am.

“Fantastic views, spa/pool, private beach & food. A truly relaxing and calming stay”
+The balcony rooms have some of the most stunning views. The food was great and the private beach was amazing though its requires climbing over 350 steps. The spa/pool was calming and was simply wonderful
−The cocktails could be better
