We had a very enjoyable stay at this hotel overall. The staff really made our experience special, being exceptionally helpful and polite. The location is great for walking into the nearby city, but we were a bit disappointed with the breakfast quality as it could have been hotter. The pool area looks inviting and I'm sure it would be fantastic in warmer weather, but the indoor spa closure was unfortunate during our visit.

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The staff was incredibly helpful and always went above and beyond to make my experience enjoyable. The room I stayed in was spacious with a lovely sea view, and while the amenities were decent, an upgrade on the pillows would certainly enhance comfort. I also appreciated the large pool area and the delicious breakfast options available each morning. However, the evening entertainment could have been more engaging. Overall, it was a relaxing retreat, but I felt some areas could use improvement.
