Stayed mid-October. Fantastic resort, staff super friendly and attentive. We celebrated a couple of birthdays and received cakes and sparkling wines from the resort. Buffet breakfast was excellent. The resort was kept spotless and rooms cleaned each day. The location was great, near the beach, supermarkets, town and some great restaurants.
Only thing I’d say could be improved upon is the heating of the indoor pool could be slightly warmer.

The breakfast was really good with lots of options such as fresh fruit, yoghurt, cereals and coffee. The gym was good however it only opened at 9am which wasn't convenient if wanting to do exercise in the morning before breakfast as breakfast buffet closed at 10am. We stayed in a suite and it was really spacious with a nice outdoor area.

The property is overall nice and close to the beach. The interior of the apartment could be cleaner and in better shape and looks a little worn and rundown. The washing machine in our unit did not function properly . The showers were difficult to enter since they were up high .

The housekeeping service is lousy. They tSke s total of less than 10 minutes to clean and it remains messed up.
One day they came at 9.30am I said in 29 mins we will be gone. Housekeeper said they will be back. That back was at 4.30pm after 2 reminders to the front s

Great resort with some flaws
Fantastic place, couldnt fault how nice the rooms are and hotel.
Onky downsides were
1. Location - it is on the outskirt of the town which means if you don't have a car you're talking 20-30 minutes of walking into town which is made hard since it is downhill and on the way back it is uphill
2. Barely any staff was knowledgeable in English which made it hard to order food/drinks
3. Kids - I love kids but there were a lot of families with kids and couples with kids which means a lot of noise
4. Not the best options for gluten free for breakfast. They have bread which isn't nice, cereals and croissant/madeleines (if they remembered to take them out of the freezer). No separate toaster either
Otherwise can not fault the hotel. We were a couple with no kids and we went in September to avoid kids.
If you have a family then great place as they have a kids playground and a small kids pool.

The room (luxury suite) has a big balcony with a sun bed and umbrella, and table for eating.
The living room has a complete kitchen and a sofa, TV area.
The bedroom has a wonderful bed, strong Internet, another TV and two lovely bathrooms.
The breakfast is amazing, as was the buffet dinner, and the pool really good size with plenty of seating.
The only negatives I'd say are
Only one free water despite staying four nights
An excessively high charge for tea in the room!!!

Liked pool at townhouse. But daily cleaners not good, no welcome pack sent (as promised), hotel courtesy bus stopped, pool towels not changed etc ….poor services despite an expensive hotel where you’d expect more….
