Nice staff, rooms were spotless. Breakfast was good with good gluten free options. Would've preferred if the lifts went to the pool were direct from room floor, but it awkwardly had separate entrance lift. Lovely views of the sea from the restaurant area.

Really nice room (partial sea view with terrace).
Lovely big spacious lobby bar, very pleasant place to spend some time for rainy days, but as it was glorious weather we were moments from the beach.
Staff were excellent (shout out Jerome, super friendly and helpful).
Maybe some chairs and a table on the terrace adjoining the room could have made that a nice place to spend some time too.
