We had a fabulous time! The family appartment was perfect for a family of 4. Nice bedrooms with separate bathroom. Comfortable living space and kitchen with the necessary tools (but not enough for a 'home' cooked dinner). The staff is very friendly and helpful. The on-site pub offers good food and a lively atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this hotel. There is however 1 thing travellers should know (which we did not know and it might have influenced our decision to book here). The swimming pool (which is advertised) is NOT accessible for children, which honestly was a huge letdown. Other than that, great place to stay!!

Stayed in the “apartments” next to the hotel. It had one bedroom with a king bed and another room with a king bed and twin, so enough for 5 people. This was a treat after other stays with double beds. Having a kitchen was another bonus.

We loved our two night stay at this apartment. The unit was very clean, well appointed and roomy. We were located close to all the sights in the area which was convenient. The pub on site served great food. Parking was right in front of the apartment which was handy. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in this very beautiful part of the world.

Clean rooms, staff was terrific, able to communicate via whatsap which was so convenient. Breakfast was good. Only pain point, we went for dinner in one restaurant followed by lunch the next day in another and the menus were identical. If we had known that we would have left the property. Daily soup also repeated so there was very minimal variety.
