We went to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary.
The hotel is as reviewed by others and the beach area a bit small, but the outstanding staff truly make your holiday. There are 30 nationalities working at the hotel and without fail, if you take the time, they all have interesting stories to tell. It would be impossible, and unfair, to name individuals but they came from every sector across the hotel including maître d, wait staff, housekeeping, sous-chefs and chefs…
Boring dietary requirements (no gluten/dairy/soy and BTW I don’t really like fish) made it a bumpy first few days but you cannot fault the enthusiasm & willingness of the staff to try and accommodate these requests.
We ate at DIVA 4 nights in a row & the chef and staff there were quite exceptional. The food was creative, interesting and tasted better than anywhere else. We loved it. On departure they gifted me a huge box of gluten free goodies - the vegan chocolate was probably the best I have ever had!
The primary reason for choosing CL was the golf. It was spectacular and despite five days of rain (playing in waterproofs), the course remained in good shape. The front 9 was more challenging - but don’t be put off if you have a high handicap you can still very much enjoy this course - even the 15th which is amazing. It wasn’t busy at all and we generally played 9 holes, then had lunch, then played another 9. Based on other reviews we came well prepared with an extra 100 balls and probably lost about 50 of them!
