Children

Best for
Babies and up – children of all ages welcomed.

Recommended rooms
The 16 Senior Suites feature a fireplace in the middle, which divides the room and gives parents more privacy. Extra cots and beds (for children aged up to 12) cost €25 a night, including breakfast. There are two sets of interconnecting rooms.

Activities
Play on the sandy beach; it's only 100 metres from the hotel. The sea is safe to swim in, but it's on the Atlantic coast so can be a little chilly. Get there first thing to watch the fishermen haul in their catch.

Swimming pool
The heated rooftop pool doesn't have a shallow end and is unsupervised, so you'll need to take care with young children.

Meals
Children are welcome in the restaurant for all meals, and there's a dedicated children's menu. This child-friendly hotel will provide you with little packed lunches for the kids, and heat up milk and baby food.

Babysitting
This can be arranged at €10 an hour and needs to be booked at least 24 hours in advance; minimum time is two hours.

Baby listening
There are monitors available to borrow, but these only really work in adjoining rooms. It's better to use one of the babysitters, particularly for babies.

No need to pack
High chairs, cots and baby monitors are available.

Also
You can watch cartoons with surround-sound in the hotel's own home cinema (it's best to book this in advance though, as it's very popular with guests of all ages). Every room has a DVD player, and there is a selection of child-friendly films available to borrow for free; remember to bring your child's favourites too, unless you want tantrums.
