Excellent Stay with Great Food

comfortable bed really good food great value relaxing atmosphere
The room was a good size and very comfortable. The food was really good. I stayed half board, and both meals were amazing and a great value (the dessert selection was excellent!). The hotel surroundings themselves were beautiful and created a very relaxing atmosphere.
The TV in the room had a less than ideal picture quality.
