Ian
United Kingdom
United KingdomUpon arrival we were upgraded to the Suites, which are really nice and comfortable (the pillows are not great, but many, so you can somehow compensate). The infinity pool is nice, the view is amazing, the gardens beautiful although not too big. The facilities appeared to be many, but we didn’t explore much, as we were out exploring every day, breakfast was good, but not exceeding and the downside was that it was the same each day. Their fresh orange juice is to die for! 😉 Avista restaurant didn’t impress us to be honest and unfortunately we were too late for booking the Michelin starred restaurant, but that’s not a deal breaker, there are options around. We would definitely return and highly recommend!
