The staff both front office and kitchen were fantastic. The girls surprised us with a welcome package for our 51st Anniversary. The kitchen staff were helpful at breakfast and Greek flavour for dinner was excellent. Two things for consideration = an upgrade of the coffee machine at breakfast and our ensuite tiles were below par with grout discoloured and both shower taps need new washers. We stay often and fully enjoy the atmosphere and facilities.
