My stay wasn't the best. I thought the room was cold. Wind was getting in through the window in the bathroom regardless of it being closed. This made showering very uncomfortable. It was especially bad for a Valentine's trip. I expected better for what I paid.

decent location, but issues with service and facilities

easy accessbroken saunanoisy aqua club
the location was acceptable, it provided easy access to the beach.
The sauna was out of order , a significant disappointment. i also found it difficult to relax at the aqua club. It felt more like a public swimming pool with lots of children and noise. the experience didn't quite deliver on the advertised promise of relaxation and well-being (i really wanted a quiet spa day).

Excellent Stay with Great Amenities

fine viewdelicious foodfriendly staff
I stayed in a Double Room Sea View and the views were fine (I especially enjoyed watching the sunset from my window). The spa facilities included five pools and a jacuzzi. Staff were very friendly and quickly brought drinks from the bar to the spa area when requested. I particularly enjoyed dining at the REN Mor restaurant, where the food was delicious with a great variety of options. The breakfast buffet had many hot food choices, a real treat. I found the digital shower, showing water usage, especially interesting and useful.
The heated towel rail in the bathroom did not work for the majority of my stay.
