Very quiet and safe place. Lots of options for food.
Prices are to the little expensive side, especially in the bar. Beach is not very clean.

Well designed buildings and particularly beautiful and large bar area. The room (luxury seafront) was spacious and well furnished, with the housekeeping team providing a great service.
A few niggles regarding other service levels and amenities, though (given that it’s a 5 star hotel):
- No regular drinks waiter service at the beach
- No regular drinks waiter service around the pool areas
- We asked a pool bar man who happened to be passing by our loungers if he would bring us the drinks menu, he said ‘yes’ and that was the last we saw of him
- Once phoned front desk from the room but it just kept on ringing with no answer
The spa was superb, even though the prices are the same as in the UK.
Generally, the prices of food and drink are very high which probably explains why the main bar and restaurants were pitifully empty every night we were there.

The hotel was fantastic. The wee gift they gave my son was a lovely gesture and very much appreciated.
The only small problems was that we didn't sleep very well due to the noise of the trains from early in the morning. Perhaps ask for a room at the other side of the hotel to avoid this. would possibly have liked if the staff in the dining hall had explained where everything was as it's such a vast area. Although they were very busy so that may explain why the didn't.
overall a wonderful hotel and we actually wanted to stay an extra night.

The room was musky. The room door key wouldn’t work. There was no safe in the room. The quality of the hotel room is less than satisfactory for the price paid.
