10/10 Excellent
"We had a great 3 night stay. The room was lovely with a balcony and great sunset views. There was a large selection of food at breakfast, although no proper decaf coffee available (only instant). The gym was good but quite warm despite the air conditioning. Staff were all very friendly."
