Perfect for a beach and pool break
Pros:

We came for a 3 day beach and pool trip when 26 weeks pregnant and had an amazing time. The breakfast was excellent with a good range of options, the pool was big enough that it was never crowded, and the beach was right on the doorstep (although 120 or so steps down). There is also a sister hotel next door where we ate one night and was delicious.

The hotel was very accommodating on our last day when we stayed to use the facilities after we checked out. They stored our luggage and when we needed to leave, we showered in the spa.

Cons:

I would recommend booking any excursions directly rather than via the hotel. The one thing that dampened our holiday was that we booked on a catamaran tour via the hotel after the concierge called the company to check if pregnant women could go. They said yes but at our own risk (which we took to mean a comfort risk, e.g. nausea on the water or uncomfortable seats on the boat). When we went to pay, a different concierge said she wouldn't recommend and it could be potentially cause us to lose the pregnancy. Even though the risk was unlikely, it was too high cost to be worth a boat tour. However, because it was within 24 hours, they wouldn't let us refund, though they gave us back the 20% commission the hotel makes. Still, we lost >50 euro on it. If we had booked directly with the tour company, we might have understood the risks more clearly as safety risks rather than comfort risks.

Other than that, the only suggestion I'd make is that the hotel staff should remove towels from sun loungers every hour or so. The signs say you can't reserve with just a towel, but it's quite aggressive as a hotel guest to remove someone's towels, though every day there were loungers that were never reclaimed. It would be great if they treated it like breakfast, just like tables are reset when guests leave, lounge chairs should be reset.
