Amazing hotel, friendly staff, great food, rooms were great. Overall fantastic hotel, however the Spa in the hotel was a bit of a let down as we paid extra to access however no one told us the sauna , hydropall and more were not currently working. Talking to someone who uses it on the reglar at the hotel this had been broken for over a week yet didnt think to tell us. Woud have just used the pool otherwise. Staff in the spa didnt seam to care too much about it when notified. Would have been 5 stars if not for this as spa was why we chose the hotel in the end.

It was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed at. Stayed for 7 nights and got a room upgrade which was great! It has good access to the beach, spa facilities are nice. Staff was helpful. Thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, but the buffet dinner option was was worth the price, since most restaurants nearby were still closed, we ended up eating a lot at the chill bar. The food was tastey but menu is limited. Old town shuttle service only goes twice a day so if you miss it, uber is the only option to go around. All in all it was a good stay. I would recommend the hotel!
