The Phoencia is a wonderful hotel.

The Phoencia is a wonderful hotel. all the staff are courteous, efficient and friendly, and they all seem happy in their work. The rooms are spotless and the restaurant is excellent. A special mention to the restaurant breakfast staff who work very hard and were very busy on Sunday, but made the time to clear a prepare a table in the conservatory.

The staff and service is what makes this stop 5 star (and the amazing pool + garden grounds). The rooms are very small, but you’re in such a fantastic area you rarely spend time in your room. I highly recommend!
