The air conditioning was broken, we had to pay £10 per person to use the swimming pool and the jacuzzi was broken. Our pre booked dinner served was not the same as the menu description. A very disappointing stay. Only good thing was the staff were friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness

The spa was closed for our stay. I would have expected to have been informed of this prior to arrival. Very disappointing as it was a feature we intended to use as part of our itinerary The room was for a disabled person and the en-suite not as expected accordingly. Also disappointingly this was not made clear to us. There were light bulbs out in the en-suite. The tv remote was not operating properly. Lack of attention to detail overall was not of a standard we have come to expect.
