Stayed at the hotel last year and loved it, but wasn’t quite the same high standards this year. Due to COVID the breakfast had changed slightly, instead of the biggest where you can choose your own foods yourself, it was a buffet that you had to queue for a staff member to pick your breakfast from, the breakfast was chaotic

A wonderful stay but only the one night. Great to meet up with friends from the UK. Everything perfect once again.

We have stayed at the dons filipa before and had a fabulous time. The hotel are making some changes to the outside space and personally we thought it was better before (as did our friends). Still I guess they are trying to move with the times and maybe in time we will think it's lovely too.

5* Not yet

Enjoyed our overnight stay meeting up with friends on a golfing trip. The hotel is undergoing major refurbishment, thankfully we stayed in one of their newly refurbed rooms. Disappointed the pool was just a hole in the ground and only one restaurant open, disappointed the hotel website shows a fantastic picture of the pool and mentions nothing of their refurbishment programme.
