Very pleased with the attentive staff and on call buggy service due to the terrain.
If you have mobility issues, this hotel may not be ideal but it is possible to book a room on the ground floor in the main building and utilise all bar one restaurant and the adults only pool.
The property was built in 1987 with additional accommodation (villas) added over subsequent years up on the hill with amazing views.
17 steps down from our first floor room in main building or you could walk up 45 steps to get your buggy to the lobby!
Excellent in room air-conditioning and room cleanliness.
As much bottled water as you want and water top ups and cold towels throughout the day down by the pool.
The 3 restaurants are open air but you can request a fan as we did on several occasions. I find it hard to enjoy a meal if I am too hot.
The location is very isolated but we knew this and the plan was to dine in every night.
No issue utilising Accor Plus Dining discount on every dinner.
Need to take a taxi if you want to eat off site though about 12 minutes walk away is a small group of shops.
Great for peace and quiet, many honeymooners here!
