Room & bathroom were spotless & spacious. Bed linens were luxurious with top/flat sheet too which is so necessary during these hot months. Rooms only have ceiling fans , no air-conditioning. Room is well thought out with full length mirror as well as dressing table with mirror and 2- & 3 point plug fittings. Seating area and balcony are comfortable. Spacious shower with strong water pressure. No shower caps or any of the usual little vanity packs provided. Only small bottles of shampoo, shower gel & lotion and hand soap provided. Spa was luxurious and therapists were professional and friendly. Highly recommended. Again, no air conditioning, so fans which are noisy, blocking out the relaxing spa music. Restaurant staff are friendly . Food is not always great...Burgers were good but cheese on pizzas were below standard. However, breakfast croissants were good and there was a great variety of warm breakfast goodies on offer. Overall, a good 3 star establishment. Wonderful for families or groups of friends, but not really a spoil for a couple.

Room was great and staff friendly, helpful and professional but two chairs are uncomfortable. The mat infront of the door is slippery and dangerous.
