We had a quick getaway in the weekend. The hotel is sparkling clean! Reception was fine, could do with a little more attentiveness & smile. The room was good size and impeccably clean . Had a drink on the lounge outside w an incredible sunset. Spa day for €15 for the circuit & the gym is open 24/7. The hot tub comes in at 30-33 degrees & the indoor pool is 27 degrees. Clean and very relaxing to hang out and start the morning. Glad that we went early at 11am many children came to enjoy the indoor pool at the hot tub was full of people-takes away from the zen. Sauna & Hanmam were clean and soothing. Didn’t have time for a spa service but will return.
