The food service team was fantastic in all areas breakfast was amazing and dinner was top notch great selection of wines and attentive service all throughout the stay. Having a drink on the porch over looking sea was fantastic. Great romantic spot. Bike usage was really convenient a short 10 min ride to the busier town area with lots of choices for restaurants etc but the resort has all you need and just a simple walk to beautiful Roman ruins.

This is an absolutely beautiful hotel, in a wonderful spot, right at the beach. It's quiet, peaceful, ecological, with great food and very friendly staff. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to use the spa facilities, but they looked great, too.

The hotel is in a great location. The view is spectacular. The rooms are a little small but it’s ok, the location and view make up for it. Breakfast was really good. Overall I would highly recommend it.
