Lovely, adults only hotel where you are treated warmly from arrival to departure. On arrival we were given a welcome drink, hot towels etc. Hotel feels intimate and rooms and pool are lovely. There were only a few sun beds in the sun however. Food was great but did get a little repetitive with the evening buffet. Nice to get live music some evenings when we were having dinner. Morning breakfast was lovely and could be ordered via a QR code on the table. Bar/drinks perhaps a little on the expensive side and I would not recommend the tasting menu night at the sister hotel, which felt expensive and left us feeling hungry, an situated in alleyway rather than by pool as we expected. We booked via Secret Escapes. We booked a Shared Pool Superior suite and from reading previous review was advised to request a room on the 'sunny' side of the hotel. We did get this but it was probably the poorest room being the nearest room to the bar/restaurant making it noisy (particularly in the morning) and as soon as you went onto the balcony the guests, eating and drinking would immediately look at you, which was uncomfortable. The pool and lounger areas were pretty much in partial shade most of the day too. We asked for a move but there were no rooms available on the sunny side of the hotel so we begrudgingly moved to the side in the shade. Here there was privacy but the pool and lounger were only in sun till about 10.30am and the shared pool never got warm so we never went in it! In the evening, as your room and most of the rooms had no sun, and the bar is also in shade, we walked down to the beach for a glass of wine (a lot cheaper than the hotel) and it was lovely to watch the sun go down here. Recommend the Boomerang Beach Bar. In terms of improvements, I would think about creating some kind of roof top bar where the tasting restaurant is and I would think about allowing guests to pick their own room from map or differentiate the shady and sunny sides of the hotel by price to avoid inevitable disappointment. I would also recommend a room on the first floor on the sunny side of the hotel, rather than any on the shady side. Lastly, with these rooms there is also no room for a chair etc so you cannot sit outside in the evening comfortably. A nice hotel but room for improvement. We also filled in a satisfaction survey at breakfast one morning and when I scored a 7 as I had been disappointed with the room experience, a member of staff came over immediately to question why I had given the score. I had thought this was anonymous and the conversation was slightly uncomfortable. I think maybe if we had booked direct rather than via Secret Escapes, we might have got a slightly different experience. Prices considerably more expensive booking direct. Overall, a good experience, but could have been AMAZING.
