Nice spot and room, but be aware that what is billed as a cool underground room in the summer becomes a hot underground room in the off-season.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We arrived an hour after reception closed at 5 pm . Too early to close for a start . The price paid was way too much for what we got and service . The barman just shrugged his shoulders when we needed assistance as reception was closed and we had to pick our key up from bar . Room fridge stunk , no pool towels could be provided , no remote for tv , no hot water , shower recess was filthy and under beds and behind furniture was filthy . When you have been travelling all day with kids you just want a hot shower and a tv that works and a clean room . I would like a refund

A great experience staying underground a clean room and comfortable bed and close to all activities. Only suggestion would be pool should be open later due to hot condition and after a long drive it would have been fantastic 😀
