A stunningly designed hotel with fantastic rooms and swimming pool, 2 minutes from the beach. We really enjoyed staying there and would definitely go back. They had only just opened when we were there so there were a few teething problems with breakfast ( no cereal for the kids or yogurt and I think that the pancakes and waffles should have been complimentary for hotel guests at breakfast as they are at most hotels of this standard ) I would definitely recommend this hotel.

Tolles Hotel. Wir waren zu zweit unterwegs. Kinder sind erlaubt, was für uns der einzige kleine Downpoint war. Alles andere ist top! Sauber, gemütlich, top Service, gutes Essen, tolle Umgebung, schönes, stilvolles Zimmer. Sauberes Bad.
