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

broken sauna noisy 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 view delicious food friendly 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.

Coastal Charm and Good Amenities

lovely food amazing staff great views safe place
The hotel has many areas for relaxation. Sea views from the seating areas are great both day and night. Holly at reception was especially helpful and friendly. The food was also good. I especially liked the burger.
The hotel did not provide parasols for shade, something I think is necessary when traveling with small children. This.
