It was twenty years since we last stayed at this hotel and stayed by accident as the hotel we normally stay at (on the beach) was full. We were so pleasantly surprised - excellent restaurant, really well organised hotel - well priced and rather underrated.

Food was definitely superior to anything tried in the region, and possibly the best I have ever eaten on a half board basis. Five courses every night, substantial yet delicate with good choice.

We shall certainly come here out of choice next time.

A truly excellent hotel. Magnificent location. Gigaro beach, below the hotel, is one of the nicest in this section of the coast but bear in mind that it is not really walkable from the hotel unless you are particularly energetic. It is also crowded in July and August. Our room (second best standard) was nicely decorated and a decent size. I would beware rooms of lower standard. Some looked as if they were closed in by buildings and trees. The sitting terraces and pool area are spacious and delightful. The food is as good as you might find anywhere. Imaginative without being challenging, well cooked and presented. I would strongly recommend demi pension. The staff were uniformly charming. The presence of the enormous Doberman is unthreatening, unless, presumably, you try to leave without paying the bill.
