Breakfast was lovely! Buffet and à la carte. The room (king) was huge- really lovely. Fluffy pillows and duvet but bed not the comfiest I’ve slept on! Unfortunately our room was not ready at check in - 4pm - and we didn’t get in until 5.30 which wasn’t ideal. The swimming pool is nice but noisy! Not the chilled vibe I was hoping for!

Ran out of Smoked salmon on our second day breakfast as nice with scrambled eggs. Bar prices a bit high but as expected for 5 star rating. Lovely comfortable room upgraded to sea view which was nice.
