Breakfast was good had a very nice selection of items. Loved that hotel was next to a beach and pool area was lovely
GibraltarNice pool area and easy access to the beach. Rich buffet breakfast served in front of a fantastic mediterranean garden.
SwedenThe location of the hotel, the outside space was amazing! The rooms are really spacious and the balcony lovely 😊 The pool area was perfect. And I love the breakfast super good with a lot of options!
PortugalOutside pool. Breakfast. The organization during Covid19 pandemic. Location... definitely the location!
IrelandWhat a relaxing place! They are managing very well the Covid-19 crisis. Everyone wears masks when indoors or picking up their food from the buffet. The staff picks up the food for you from the buffet and one is far from the buffet. The swimming pools are an idillic place, one feels one is in the middle of an oasis with palms surrounding the swimming pools. The swimming pool water is so light. I would say it is a hotel more for adults although there were about 5 kids but they were well behaved. There is no music or noises here, it is a tranquil place and it is so perfect to relax when you take a week of holiday with your other half and your kids are well looked after their grandparents. The Portuguese restaurant is very good. In all we loved the hotel and its location. The beach is beautiful. Service is good.
United KingdomThis hotel really surprised us . We booked only 3 nights as I was afraid it would be just another random big resort. Well I guess we were wrong - the hotel is great , people are friendly and the pool and beach area are stunning . Breakfast was really good and they managed the COVID-19 situation really well . We felt safe there and didn’t have to worry about anything . The location is really awesome and we found a few good places to eat around . Can’t wait to be back !
GermanyGreat pools, great breakfast, very large room. Covid 19 precautions well catered for. Felt very clean and safe.
IrelandBreakfast was great. Considering the Covid-19 situation, and not knowing what to expect, everything was well organised.
United KingdomAmazing location next to the sea. Loved the pool area and the gardens. The room was big and super comfortable. Under ground garage for free. The staff handled the covid-19 situation very professional.
BelgiumGreat location, good rooms and great service, a very good Hotel
