Beautiful! Attentive staff and fantastic Thermal Suite experience!
Pros:

The hotel is beautiful, and the staff is gracious and accommodating. Our original room was on the first floor and didn't have a "nice" view (it was adjacent to some concrete buildings). I asked the front desk if anything else was available, and she reassigned us to a second-floor room with a balcony overlooking the garden. The only downside to the move was that the original room came with an espresso machine and the new room didn't, but we made do -- LOL! Breakfast is tasty and includes both a continental buffet and hot cooked items from a menu.

The star of the show was the Thermal Suite. My husband and I went to the co-ed suite on our first day, and we really enjoyed the steam room and sauna. Unfortunately, the pool area had a strong chlorine smell that really irritated my nose. The next day I went to the female-only space, and it was heavenly, with no strong chlorine smell! We walked into the village of Douglas for dinner twice; once for fish and chips at a pub (South County), where we were also treated to live Irish music, and the second time to Eco Douglas, which was a bustling space with a fun atmosphere, but I wouldn't call the food outstanding.

Cons:

We were awakened by a neighbor who was up quite early and having a very loud phone conversation in a foreign language. It went on for about 30 minutes and although we didn't understand it, it was certainly animated!

Pros:

outside area is gorgeous

Cons:

starting to look a bit tired - a refurb is due soon - the outside is the most beautiful part of the whole place.

Really nice stay
Pros:

Really lovely large room with bathrobes, slippers & a bottle of prosecco left out for us which was unexpected & a very nice gesture. Good food, good bar staff & nice pints.

Muy recomendado, regresaría sin duda.
Pros:

EL desayuno cumple, fui con mis hijos pequeños y esta bien, nada espectacular pero cumple para desayuno, la atención es muy muy buena, tiene áreas verdes increíble jugamos mucho tiempo en estas áreas, tiene estacionamiento no lo cobran y es muy grande. Realmente es entrar a otra época, es un hotel de fachada antigua y moderno por dentro, con todos los servicios.

Cons:

Un día nos metimos a la alberca techada pero estaba muy fría, nos tuvimos que salir a los 10 min, no se si sea normal para ellos esa temperatura. Aun así fueron muy amables las personas que nos atendieron en la alberca.
