It was good.
Pros:

The location was absolutely perfect.
The breakfast was always well cooked and presented beautifully… but for me they were too large, especially the Avocado toast as it is very rich.

Cons:

There was nothing that I didn’t like except the cost of a glass of wine!

A restorative stay in an exceptionally beautiful place - nowhere in the world could beat this perfec
Pros:

Fabulous location, overlooking the beach, beautiful sea views, from our rooms and from the restaurant.
Attractive decor. Super-comfortable beds. Lovely swimming pool (indoor) And excellent food, beautifully presented.
Very nice staff too. Lovely canapes before dinner

Cons:

Silly kettle in my room (room 7) with 4" lead which was difficult to plug in! No biscuits with tea tray! No tissues in bathroom. No body lotion - which I would have expected in a hotel of this quality.

Excellent private location right near the beach
Pros:

The hotel is in an excellent, quiet, and private location right near the beach. The facilities are comfortable and perfect for a relaxing stay. The food was delicious and the view from the restaurant is absolutely breathtaking. The staff were wonderful—extremely polite, welcoming, and helpful with information.

Cons:

The only downside is transportation: if you don't have a car and need to travel long distances (over two hours), it can be very difficult to get a taxi.

Stunning views, blissfuly quiet place to stay with amazing staff
Pros:

The view we’re absolutely stunning from the rooms, lounge, and the rock restaurant staff were very attentive and incredibly professional when getting us to our tables and serving our meals h
The food was absolutely delicious we had a brilliant nights sleep no noise at all other than the sound from the sea very blissful
The jacuzzi and steam room were a great asset to have as the weather was a little cooler when we were there which we used before we left

Cons:

Unfortunately the indoor pool was really really cold it took ages for me to enter the water I did lots of lengths but I never got warm at all-and it could do with a coat of paint on the floor of the pool to freshen it up

Excellent, comfortable stay
Pros:

Friendly service, clean rooms. It was our fifth year at the property & we were even given an upgrade this time, which was a lovely surprise.

Cons:

Nothing springs to mind; our room didn’t have air conditioning but thankfully it wasn’t hot enough to be a factor & there was a fan in the room.

Enjoyable luxury stay.
Pros:

Plenty of choices for breakfast. Staff very friendly and professional. Reception staff very helpful too. Room extremely clean and housekeeping very good.

Cons:

Only minor. Either more choices on menu in ‘The Rocks’ or change more often. Same menu for 3 nights there. The Palm restaurant had plenty of good choices though.

In die Jahre gekommenes, überteuertes Hotel an wunderschöner Lage
Pros:

Die Lage ist etwas abseits des Zentrums, wunderschön über dem Meer gelegen. Schöne Aussicht aus den Zimmern. Mit Swimmingpool und Aussenpool.

Cons:

Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen, überteuert. Zwei Zimmer gebucht. Normales Zimmer war unter dem Dach eine sehr kleine Kammer ohne Platz, aber mit Klimaanlage. Kein Safe, keine Kaffeemaschine. Im zweiten Zimmer (deluxe) war es etwas grösser, aber es hatte keine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, schmutziger Teppich, rote Nagellackflecken am Bett. Kein Safe. Fenster liessen sich nur teilweise öffnen, es war extrem heiss.
Einrichtung teilweise sehr alt und kaputt, Lift schmutzig.
Eingangsbereich schön eingerichtet.
Frühstücksbüffet nur kleine Auswahl.
Das Personal war sehr nett.
