"Mixed bag. Room lovely, clean, comfortable and reasonably priced. Had booked a spa package, and (obviously not the hotel’s fault) there were a lot of crying/screaming children in the pool, so would not book for a relaxing spa again. Ratina in the restaurant was lovely, although the food and drinks were just ok (and very overpriced)."
