My experience at this hotel was a mixed bag. I enjoyed the spacious room with a beautiful view, but the service left a lot to be desired, especially at the bar. The dining options were appealing, but the overall experience was marred by delays and minor inconveniences. While the location offered tranquility, I felt the establishment did not quite live up to its rating.

I had a wonderful vacation at this hotel, where the surroundings were so tranquil, and the gardens were beautifully kept. The rooms were decent and had everything I needed. The dining was a highlight, with a wide range of breakfast options and excellent quality dinner. However, I did find the shuttle service a bit limiting in the evenings and the vegetarian options during dinner were quite sparse.

The hotel offers a peaceful retreat with clean and well-equipped rooms, perfect for a family holiday. While the dining options were a bit limited and sometimes slow, the relaxing pool area made up for it. The location is quite remote, requiring a car for exploring, which may not suit everyone. Overall, it's decent value, but manage your expectations about the 5-star rating.

Rooms

The rooms are clean and well-equipped with a Dolce Gusto coffee maker, although the €1.50 per capsule felt a bit steep. The cozy balcony adds charm but could be a bit limiting in space.

This resort spa truly offers a serene retreat with beautiful gardens and excellent dining options. The room I stayed in was spacious, but I did wish there were more evening entertainment alternatives, especially considering the last shuttle to town was early. Overall, it was a satisfying experience with room for improvement in evening activities.

The hotel has some appealing aspects like well-maintained gardens and spacious accommodations that made for a pleasant overall experience. I found the service to vary significantly, with some staff members being quite helpful while others seemed indifferent. The dining options left a lot to be desired, especially when it came to variety and quality at dinner. Also, the location is somewhat remote, requiring a car or shuttle service to access more vibrant areas.
