Elisabet, Oct 2024
Pros (+) All staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming. We dined at the A Terra restaurant both evenings, good varied menu also for vegans. Water, fruit and cookies served in the room daily along with some small things for the kids. The kids club is great and the staff there are superb. The dog fee is 50€/night which is a big hefty but it includes a dog bed, bowls, dog towel, poop bags and a chewing bone....
Cons (-) We had a Family suite (two connecting deluxe rooms), the paint job in the bathrooms is not up to the standard of a 5 star hotel. Also the fact that there is no ventilation system in the bathroom (except opening the window) shows its wear and tear on the interior of the bathrooms. This is the main reason for not giving a 10 rating. Beware: The A Terra restaurant adds a recommended tip of 15% which ...

Pros (+) The hotel is very beautiful and welcoming with stunning grounds in a good location. Breakfast was amazing and restaurants good. The staff are top notch with a laid-back, very friendly attitude. It was all very relaxing and would certainly like to return.
Cons (-) The room, a superior double, was a little underwhelming, probably due to the constraints of the original building, eg no balcony and a shower in a bath.

Pros (+) One of the most special places we have stayed; the location, resort/retreat, staff, facilities, and food were above expectation. Octant really cared about us and not only met our special requests but exceeded our requirements having thought and care into each day we stayed - they surprised us with beautiful fruit plates, chacuterie plates, wines, water. The staff were super attentive but discreet ...
Cons (-) We could not fault anything.

Pros (+) Staff were first class, and are a credit to the business. More than anything else, it was they who made the stay at the hotel a special one. They were always friendly and willing to help, and they made us feel very welcome from the start. The rooms are nice, although for the price, I feel they could do with some updating. The facilities are good, and the hotel offers some excellent add-on experien...
Cons (-) The bathrooms are tired and in need of modernisation. For a 5 star hotel charging the kind of rates they charge, the bathrooms should be better quality and better maintained. The temperature of the shower went from hot to cold fairly consistently. I did report this to reception, but it was not resolved during our 4 night stay. The shower head attachment was coming away from the wall. And the mirro...
