    My car got damaged in the car park. No fault of the hotel of course however, would have expected some form of compensation.

    Incredible location and views. Lovely spa area with great views. Breakfasts were so good and super relaxing.

    We feel bad providing any negative comments considering we got the generous upgrade but overall we felt the rooms could do with an upgrade. For example, the carpet was strained in our room, the mirror was cracked in the bathroom and the towel radiator in the bathroom didn't work. The pool area is beautiful. However after our treatment there was no where to sit as the recliners by the pool were in use. I think the spa could be enhanced by having a small room for people to sit in after a treatment and enjoy some fruit or a herbal tea. However these aspects did not take away from our stay.

    We really enjoyed our stay and we did get an upgrade which was a fantastic treat and so appreciated. We never got an upgrade before so it was a great surprise and thanks to the staff involved in arranging the upgrade. The views were absolutely breathtaking and the breakfast was lovely.The tasting menu was excellent and overall we loved our relaxing stay. It was a great novelty to go swimming in the sea and then back to the outdoor hot tub. My husband and I got a treatment. My husband has shoulder damage and his therapist was absolutely amazing and very conscientious.

    The view was spectacular. Bedroom was finished to a very high standard. Bathrobes and towels of excellent quality. Dinner was sumptuous and breakfast was a delight to sit looking over the ocean and have your breakfast served. We also visited the spa. Fantastic treatments. Hotel staff very pleasant and helpful. A pure delight! Will be back, thank you.

    It was all good. Make sure you book spa treatments well in advance though- we were too late!

    This is a very special place it's worth the pricetag! The room was very nicely appointed with great views. We were lucky with the weather so enjoyed cliff and beach walks and spent a good time in the spa pool which is a decent size, about 15m long. Breakfast was very good. Parking was easy. Bathroom snd shower was very nice.

    There was nothing not to like except for a senior member of staff in the Bar Restaurant who needs some serious upskilling on Coughing Etiquette.

    Superb location with magnificent sea views. Facilities were excellent with great attention to detail and very professional and caring staff. Food superb too.

    Nothing to complain about.

    The location and the room view is stunning!! Also the hike is just 2min walk from the hotel and what a beautiful cliff walk of 4km. Highly recommend. The food is good. We loved our sea weed and salt/oil baths overlooking the sea. Definitely recommend it.
