We travelled with our group on a Coach holiday to The Kistor. We found our hotel room and en-suite very clean, and the bed was comfortable. We had a lovely room overlooking the palm trees with the harbour in the distance. The hotel itself was very clean and the staff very attentive and helpful. A lovely menu each meal......very tasty...

I am pleased that you had a good holiday, but sorry you suffered from those headaches. Unfortunately the pool underwent a maintenance program whilst you were with us and the water treatment may have filtered up to your room, though no one else mentioned it. If that was the reason I apologise. Your room is south facing and enjoys alot... More
