The food was SO good! Our room was bigger than my apartment in NYC with an achingly beautiful view. Everyone was so accommodating and lovely and fun. I hope we get back there soon & in the summer for more ocean activities. Sauna was heavenly.

We had a great family weekend at the hotel with our kids at the end of October mid term break. Lovely beach 5 minutes walk away. Holiday homes were well stocked and had everything that we needed. Great food at the hotel which was an added bonus to our trip. We will definitely return again.
