Fab Stay
Pros:

Gorgeous location. Great staff. Apartment perfect for our family's needs and kids loved the pool.

Cons:

Couldn't fault it really. If I had to say something negative the food was a bit pricy in the restaurant. There's better value to be had in other restaurants close by.

Friendly staff, nice food, average rooms, poor facilities, hopeless communication
Pros:

Breakfast, bar food and food generally were excellent.

Cons:

Booking and communication were dreadfull. Bathrooms in poor condition and nowehere to hang a towel! Pool was closed but we were not told in advance despite booking the hotel as this was a key attraction; offered no discount.

We had a lovely family weekend - great staff and food but average accommodation
Pros:

The staff and the food were both excellent

Cons:

The price increase over the usual rates as we were a wedding party and therefore a sitting target (£204 per night) compared to £150 ish and also in our room the bath water temperature was lukewarm at best so the pleasure of a hot bath that we were looking forward to was denied to us
