4/5Nice1 Aug 26

We visited the spa for a day experience and weren’t staying at the hotel. On arrival, the lady on reception was welcoming and friendly, although the check-in process was a little slow.

I'm not sure if there's a new chef this year, but the…

Nothing is ever too much for them. I’m a very fussy eater and always manage to find something tasty to eat. I had never travelled solo before and wouldn’t have d…
