Nice scenic location but very expensive and poor breakfast
Pros:

Scenic location although assigned room was beside noisy roadway.

Cons:

Could hear person snoring in adjacent bedroom. Constant buzz in our room when electric switch was on. We turned off at 2am but then mobile phones couldn’t charge. Curtains hung on rails incorrectly so light came in both sides. Breakfast was very poor value for money. They ran out of butter, so toast cold. Staff seemed hassled and under resourced.Food was mediocre

One night get a way
Pros:

Lovely friendly staff very welcoming and helpful. Restaurant was lovely with great views of the sea.
The pool is stunning, one of the nicest pools I have been to in a hotel.
Close to the beach and lovely walks.
The room was spacious and little dated on the bathroom but clean with plenty of fresh towels.

Cons:

Tea and coffee in the room, but a wee biscuit would be nice too.

A relaxing couple of days in beautiful surroundings.
Pros:

The property was convenient to all local amenities. Our room had a beautiful sea view. The staff were very friendly. And we had a lovely breakfast on the morning of checkout.

Cons:

Our room was rather small with very little space to get in and out of the bed. The bathroom could do with a light above the mirror.

Not worth the money
Pros:

Staff were fantastic. Location was beautiful right beside the sea.

Cons:

The french doors in the bedroom only opened on one side. The shower could not be tilted and was very difficult to use. The chips at dinner were a cheap frozen kind. The dessert portions were very small. Breakfast was fine but had no pastries excellent very small crossaints. Considering the cost to stay for a couple for only 1 night was €230, I think the hotel definitely needs an upgrade. I wouldn't stay again because of this and I wouldn't recommend either.
