We wanted to go somewhere memorable for our honeymoon and definitely made the right choice! From the moment we walked in to the establishment we were made to feel special. Govind gave us a terrific tour of the premises and ensured we started our break with a glass of champagne. All the hotel staff were friendly and went out their way to be helpful and to ensure our stay was a happy one. Our room was comfortable, the breakfast was tremendous (we didn't need much lunch!), and we can attest that both the brasserie and curry room served excellent food. We were within 5 minutes walk of the High Street and 10 minutes from the esplanade. Though not cheap, if you're looking for a 5-star experience then you will not be disappointed! We would like to thank everyone who looked after us!
Just spent 4 nights at this superb hotel, fantastic atmosphere good location, rooms were amazing and spotlessly clean, food was excellent with plenty of choice, all the staff made you feel really welcome and nothing was to much trouble for them. Allesandro in the restaurant was very accommodating and professional at all times and it was nice chatting to Andrew at the front door most days but didn’t manage to say goodbye when we left ! Would not hesitate to return to this wonderful hotel.
