Genuinely can not fault this hotel. Me and my partner have just had one of the best holidays of our life here. The whole time we just kept asking “whats the catch” We arrived to the hotel quite late and the reception team took our luggage and got us to dinner before checking in to ensure we didnt go hungry. When we went to the restaurant we were blown away by the size and selection of food. When we did get up to our room they had left us some food on the desk for incase we didnt get to eat which was such a lovely touch, especcially the little chocolates. The room had a large walk in shower, walk in wardrobe and a terrace with a beautiful view of the front of the hotel. There was full tea making facilities, a fridge and a coffee machine that you could pay €12 to get daily pods for (we didnt do this as there was always coffee at the bar). We got our room cleaned daily and they always did a fantastic job. There was a card you could put on the bed to get the sheets changed rather than just make the bed, we did this half way through the week. After we had it cleaned I got a little stain on the bed and they changed the sheets again the next day without us even putting the card on the bed! Breakfast was always the same, typical full english food, freshly made omlettes, pancakes, bread, pastries, cereal, cheese, meats and fruits. Lunch varied a bit throughout the week but usually consisted on fish, meat, veg, bread, salad, cheese, meats and puddings. Dinner definitely varied the most with themed nights (our favourite was mexican night). The staff were so friendly, particularly in the restaurant and the bars, and the animation team did lots of activities during the day that were great for kids such as water polo, jenga, quizzes etc. (we did not take part but we could see it was very fun for everyone else) The main pool was a great size with two mini jacuzzi’s either side and 1 kids pool just next to it. They provide you with decent-sized, thick pool towels that you can get changed as often as you like. The bar was open from 10 every morning through to 6 when the second bar opened for the evening until midnight and always had either a singer or mini show on. Great selection of branded alcohol all included in the AI package, they even filled our stanleys for us! There was another outdoor section next to the bar that included the 3rd pool but was adults only and cost €30 for two people all day. We chose to do this only the once and it was absolutely gorgeous! The pool its very shallow and you walk through it to get to a large cold-water jacuzzi at the end. At about 11:30am they came and delivered a fruit platter to each bed which was a lovely touch. They also had an a la carte restaraunt which you could book for 1 free visit during your stay. There was set starters, sorbet and desert but you could select 3 mains to share. I could definitely see that this restaurant wouldnt be to everyones taste but there is a menu just outside so you can decide if it
