All the staff are so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great! So many lovely patisserie items and then I had smoked salmon and poached eggs every day… my favourite! Pool was sparkling clean and always plenty of sun loungers. Location quite remote but we found a few good restaurants nearby and a friendly little local bar with a talking parrot!
