I struggled to find the gardens it mentioned on website plus I think it's ridiculous you can't as a resident use the pool. I'd booked for two treatments and got to use the thermal suite but an additional €25 each to use the pool on our 1st day is ridiculous. Also food on first night wasn't great how do you get a Caesar salad wrong. Plate of lettuce and a tiny bit of chicken smothered in dressing. Really wasn't nice. Rooms very comfortable but fridge has to be turned off at wall because of the noise. Slept well after we did this. Also only bar open on Monday and Tuesday. This should be stated when booking.

Very poor, staff made no effort, generally run down, claimed fine dining restaurant was anything but. Spa was not impressive and staff inattentive - playing on their phones. Glad we only stayed one night.
