Staff were lovely. The room was gorgeous, clean and had spectacular views of the valley. However, the spa facilities were highly disappointing: broken sun loungers, half the jets weren’t working, black mould visible and a pool you can’t swim lengths in. We didn’t eat in the restaurant as the prices were extortionate. For the price of the hotel, we expected a lot more than we did. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

The location was fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The room was clean snd spacious although we were disappointed it didn’t have a full lengh mirror. Breakfast certainty wasn't worth £30.

It was a one night stay and we were welcomed from the very beginning and given helpful information on local attractions by Mohammed at the reception. The tepidarium, sauna and steam room were excellent. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.
