    Beautiful location alongside a golf course gives a picturesque view. The pro shop staff are attentive and memorable, making the golfing experience enjoyable.

    The Comfy Double Room felt slightly dated, with furniture lacking character. Dining options faced hiccups—unable to book a dinner table after 20:20 and had issues with a dog policy that wasn't clear. Ordering food took longer than expected, creating a bit of frustration during our stay.

    The location was absolutely stunning, right by a picturesque beach and golf course! Our room felt so comfy and cozy. I did notice the carpets in public areas were in need of some TLC. 😊

    Improvements needed in staff training and communication to enhance guest experiences!!! The dining options felt limited and could benefit from more variety!!! After all the hype, the overall experience didn’t quite match the substantial costs!!!

    beautiful location
    impeccable cleanliness
    expensive breakfast
    poor service interaction
    unwelcoming atmosphere

    The location was stunning, with a beautiful view of the golf course and impeccable cleanliness throughout our stay. While the breakfast menu offered quality traditional regional homemade products, the prices felt excessive for what was provided. Unfortunately, the service fell short when a staff member was overly stern regarding our dog’s presence, contradicting a more accommodating waitress, which left us uncomfortable. Despite these issues, we enjoyed the comfort of our room and the relaxing sauna experience near the beach.

    cozy room
    immaculately clean
    shower and bath
    not luxurious

    The Comfy Double Room was really nice and clean, not overly luxurious but cozy. The layout was decent—definitely spacious enough without being cramped. The shower and bath combo was a highlight, and it felt inviting after a long day. Everything was spotless, and the decor was pleasing. I wouldn’t say there was anything major to complain about regarding the room. It just felt like a good place to unwind.

    impressive restaurant
    award-winning golf course
    confusing service

    Had an amazing vacation with friends! We explored the beautiful beaches and enjoyed the impressive restaurant with stunning views. The award-winning championship golf links was a top highlight, offering a proper links experience. Spa treatments and e-biking made our stay even more memorable. Highly recommend!

    We had some confusion with our room arrangements, and the service could improve as we experienced some delays in ordering food.

    The comfy luxe double room was perfect for our stay, and we loved relaxing at the spa with a full body massage followed by a rejuvenating facial. The tranquility of the garden area added to our relaxation, making it a lovely retreat. Just a heads up, breakfast isn’t included, but there are plenty of great options nearby! 😊
