Excellent Stay with Wonderful Amenities!
relaxing stay omelette station outdoor pool bottle wine
The breakfast buffet offered a variety of options, including an omelette station that I enjoyed. The hotel features both indoor and outdoor pools, and a snack bar is located near the pools for convenience. I found a bottle of wine in my room upon arrival. A lovely touch for enjoying the sunset.
I felt that the sauna could have been hotter. It was nice, though not quite warm enough for my preference.
Location
9/10
The location has direct access to beautiful beaches, and accessible paths are perfect for leisurely walks. It provides fine views that impressed my travel companions, and is near several restaurants. The position is on a cliff. Take the stairs down to a fine beach.
Facilities
8/10
The bedrooms are spacious with convenient kitchenettes, and they include a balcony. The rooms are kept meticulously clean every day by the friendly staff. The hotel has a wellness spa with well-equipped facilities and good showers.

wide selection kind staff easy access
The breakfast buffet provided a wide selection of food. I also appreciated the very nice staff. Redonda Cove was easily accessible from the hotel and other beaches were within walking distance.
The hotel parking had limited spaces, and finding one late at night could be difficult.

decent stay with minor issues
relaxing beaches family suite helpful staff freezing pool missing sockets poor breakfast
the hotel location is superb it is close to relaxing beaches i really liked that i could easily access the coast. our family suite was very clean and spacious it had more than enough room for all of us. the staff were also very helpful and kind they always greeted us with a smile.
i found the indoor pool freezing the water was way too cold to enjoy a swim. there were no plug sockets next to the bed which was quite inconvenient for charging my devices. the breakfast wasn't great it lacked variety and the quality was not what i expected.

Acceptable stay, disappointing details
the location was great, close to the beach (that's a definite plus).
The room itself showed some wear and tear. There were cracks in the walls, which wasn't ideal for a hotel stay, especially for the price i paid (i wasn't expecting that).
