Staff was incredibly nice to us during our stay. The hotel gym is beautiful and was not busy. The room had everything we needed and our coffee and tea facilities got refilled daily. Overall it was a great stay.
3-night trip

8/10

Really enjoyed our few days away. Staff were friendly, room and bed were really comfortable and pool area was nice and relaxing. My only issue was that we went into the pool after it was cleaned and me and my partner could barely open our eyes they were stinging that much and we were coughing quite a bit from the chlorine. It was slightly painful.
