Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

Hotel Verde Mar & SPA

5/5 Excellent
"Goldilocks-sized property with quality facilities. The fact that they have both outdoor and indoor pools ensures a good time even if rain hits. Spa and restaurant were both really good. Breakfast bar had a thorough spread on offer. Very nice to be able to walk to the beach and watch sunsets. Staff are very friendly and accommodating, and let us hang out at the pool while waiting for 4pm room check-in. Would definitely stay there again "
