A wonderful weekend break
Pros:

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Location was perfect. The hotel was really nice and modern . Loved that we were so close to the beach, lots of hotel in room amenities with lovely toiletries supplies and the robes were a really nice touch too

Cons:

I know it's a very child friendly hotel, however would have been nice to have had a separate pool for the children. I was hoping to do some swimming and relax in wellness with the jacuzzi and sauna, However there were a lot of kids who were jumping and splashing and were unable to swim in the pool.
The restaurant service can be quite slow at times for evening meals and breakfast.
