Reviews based on Location
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here this week. Beautiful hotel rooms, pool & location. We decided after checking in to upgrade your a sea view room which I definitely recommend. Luckily our rooms were right near the pool, original room was down a million corridors & was like an absolute rabbits Warren. Very hard to get your bearings! |I would recommend if booking direct making the most of the email offer you upgrade room & cheaper parking, as once we fixed your upgrade after arrival they wouldn’t honor the same rice, which was disappointing . |Amenities were divine - Logan shampoo & body wash & the coffee pods were great too. |Super comfortable pool chairs! Would definitely recommend
Gorgeous hotel although a little dated in some parts. Staff were really friendly and very helpful. We paid for breakfast one morning which was buffet style and was amazing, there seemed to be everything you could think of including an omelette station. Pool area is lovely. Hotel is in a really good location, especially for boat trips and lots of restaurants near by.
