Spa good. Location good. Breakfast ok but horrible flow and planning. We got the room next to the wedding party so listening to dance music to 2AM. I told them this but they don’t seem to care much. Not coming back

Rooms are standard size and with basic appliances and comforts. However, had some "weird stains" on the provided chairs. Beds are comfortable. Bath robe is provided, but no slippers - what a misser for a hotel with a spa!
That spa in itself is by the way really nice!  Did not take a massage, so I won't rate that.

However, the food (besides the breakfast) was really really bad of portion size. Somehow a small cup of salad and a third of a chicken breast should be enough for a person as dinner? I don't think so. Additionally, some food choices were weird such as giving milk chocolate with havtorn berries.. cocktails weren't really mixed and quite expensive for what they were, and bread was also not replenished even after asking multiple times...
Besides the extremely slow service as well, this spoiled the visit.

However, the location and the spa both were amazing!

Amazing spa hotel. Professional and patient staff and great service. Been there twice will definitely visit again. Our requests were taken care of professionally, couldn't imagine a better experience. I made a mistake in my order but it was patiently and nicely handled by the staff. Spa is not so large but has everything you can expect in a spa. Floating sauna with immediate access to the sea was the best part. Great access to parking, bus station and ferry to the island. Awesome breakfast with a great variety.

We stayed here as a family of four (teenagers and parents) at the end of July for 3 nights and we loved it. The location is perfect - easy to access pretty much everywhere you could want to go to in the area. The rooms are unusual - fairly spare and very functional in style, but we loved them. Clean and neat and amazing views. The food was excellent. I would not book the half board option - there are many excellent a la cart choices to be had in their restaurant. The wellness area and saunas are highly recommended - don't skip the floating sauna and the ocean plunge afterwards. I would happily visit again if the opportunity arose.
