"We chose this hotel for a bit of self-indulgence, and the weekend felt like we'd had a full restful weekend. It's quiet, and there's everything you need right there. The food is great; as a vegetarian, I appreciated the tasty tagine, and my carnivore partner had plenty to choose from. The gym is well-equipped, and the pool is lovely. We'll be back soon to try a spa treatment as well. Also, the staff were amazing."
