Beautiful hotel in a great location. Restaurant exceptional
Pros:

Superb hotel in very good location. Super friendly staff. Special mention to the restaurant staff who were exceptional. Breakfast offered so much choice and our one evening meal in the restaurant was fantastic.

Cons:

Don't want to appear picky as the hotel overall was fantastic. I had booked over a year ago for our 30th wedding anniversary so really hoped everything would be perfect. Unfortunately we had 2 issues regarding cleanliness. The first, less problematic, was after check-in finding one of the cups/saucers dirty and it taking 5hrs to be changed. The second, and more major issue, was our experience with the jacuzzi on our terrace. After turning the jets on we were covered in black mouldy slime. Clearly the jacuzzi hadn't been used recently and it certainly hadn't been cleaned/checked. Even the day after when we thought it would have been sorted after reporting the issue there was still (though a much lesser amount) black slime being discharged from the jets. Such a shame as my wife refused to use the jacuzzi after the first experience. When raising both issues with reception (2 separate gentlemen) we came away feeling that it was not being taken that seriously. Maybe just a culture/language issue but a simple apology and we will get that sorted straight away from them would have made us feel that the issues would be dealt with quickly. Just a shame that a couple of issues took the shine off our otherwise wonderful stay.

Cons:

There was nothing we didn’t like. The hotel experience was outstanding.
