Rebecca from Carlisle

Check-in date:

The hotel was kept really clean and tidy, and the staff were more than helpful with any requests we made.
All the food for every meal was well cooked and tasty.
The pool was lovely, plenty of sunloungers, and shade if needed.
the rooms were a great size with massive balconies.

Top Tip: Take a plug-in mosquito repellant device, there were plenty of them flying.
ask for fans for the bedrooms and they will provide them, there is no AC.
