Very nice but maybe next time I won’t go off peak
Pros:

The views were lovely and the champagne bar. The rooms were nice and clean and staff helpful

Cons:

No pool bars were open to get a drink to sit by the pool which I found annoying. And no staff to ask so I had to walk all the way around to speak to someone at the reception

Amazing location and exceptional staff.
Pros:

Amazing location! Our room had the best Seaview, every morning felt like we were waking up in Paradise. The cliffs, the Pine trees, the little birds singing throughout the day, the sound of the running water in the pool gave the whole scenery a magical touch. I was celebrating my birthday, and on arrival there was a bottle of sparkling wine and a beautiful card in my room, thank you so much for the lovely gesture. But what made our stay exceptional, was the lovely staff, from the minute we have arrived until we left we were made to feel at home. Excellent breakfast and outstanding cleanliness throughout the resort.

Habe die Tage genossen würde aber ein kleineres Hotel bevorzugen.
Pros:

Gute Lage aber man braucht ein Auto. Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. ANLAGE WEITLÄUFIG und vielseitig.

Cons:

Leider war der Strand gesperrt und nicht alle Bars offen. Der Frühstücksraum war oft überfüllt und dadurch zu laut. Das sollten sie ändern.

Schöne Anlage mit Schwachstellen
Pros:

Sehr nettes Personal,gutes Frühstück,schöne Anlage wenn auch sehr groß,toller Strand, sehr schöne Gartenanlage,beste Matratze die ich je hatte,ausreichend Handtücher und Kissen vorhanden,tolle Bettdecke,schönes Geräumiges Bad,netter kleiner Golfplatz, Massagen qualitativ sehr gut aber zu teuer ( die Trinkgeldempfehlung empand ich als unverschämt zwischen 30 und 50 Euro), die 2 Flaschen Wasser gratis täglich

Cons:

Sehr hellhöriges Zimmer,im Sommer ist unterhalb Restaurant(zu laut und riecht permanent nach Holzkohle),Hotel ist im März eine einzige Baustelle, keinerlei Information das vor und hinter dem Zimmer permanent Gerüst auf- und abgebaut wurde. Kann man vorab doch mitteilen. Balkonsitzmöbel so niedrig das man nur die weiße Mauer des Balkons sieht und nicht dss Meer, Getränke und Essen völlig überteuert( 0,33 stilles Wasser in der Plastkflasche 4,40€).Spezialitätenrestaurants alle zu....wäre nucht annähernd bereit 7000Euro im Sommer füt mein Zimmer zu bezahlen. Zu wenig Platz am Pool (Liegen wurden im März schon reserviert). Gärtner extrem laut, lieben ihren Laubbläser und ihre Carts mit Motor( sehr laut)und wenn nicht,wird Rasen gemäht. Ich hab das in anderen Hotels schon anders erlebt(E Carts,Rasenmähroboter,Kehren statt wegblasen)

Pros:

Wonderful location, fantastic amenities on the most part. Many restaurants however all closed except 2 and sadly one closed after the 2nd evening we were there.
Honestly the staff were the high point, absolutely wonderful, helpful and genuine. You could really feel it compared to other places we have been.
My only grype if you are a parent with a buggy, be prepared to have to lift it. Much if the site has stairs and in some cases requires a detour in order to use a ramp. For some it won’t be an issue at all. Just something to consider

Tradicional, well-run hotel with nice garden.
Pros:

Nice landscapping and plenty of activities.

Cons:

Restaurant was just ok. The interior pool was nice, but temperature could be a little bit higher. But my 6 years old was able to swimm during winter.
