Great Hotel
What an absolute gem! From start to finish, everything about our stay at this wonderful hotel was just perfect. Beautiful surroundings, delicious food and refreshing drinks — but what truly made it special was the incredible team. Every single member of staff was warm, welcoming and went above and beyond at every turn. You can feel how much they care about making guests happy. I cannot recommend this place highly enough - we'll definitely be back!
Food atrocious!
Hotel lovely and clean there always cleaning .Food absolutely terrible same thing every day not sure if they had to use up all the left over from the summer months .We had to buy food out
Far From 5-Star: Poor Facilities, Substandard Food, and Appalling Management
This is a low-grade hotel that has somehow been given a 5-star rating. In my experience, a true 5-star hotel does not use cheap toiletries, paper cups, flimsy stirrers, or limited, low-quality tea and coffee sachets. The room features a kettle with a cable so short you have no choice over its positioning on the limited surface space, no mini-fridge, and a shower with a flawed design that floods the bathroom floor.
The drinks are cheap quality and heavily watered down, served by miserable staff. The so-called cocktails are slapdash mixtures of unidentifiable ingredients that only differ in color.
The food was generally bland. After our first breakfast, we decided never to go back due to the most undercooked baked beans I have ever encountered—eating them was like crunching on raw nuts.
However, the final catalyst for this review was how we were lied to and fobbed off regarding the à la carte meal, which required advance booking. Two of our friends arrived on the Friday, and my companion and I arrived on the Saturday. On Monday, we joined our friends at reception. They had already been told they couldn't get a table because the Tuesday sitting was full, and since they were flying home on Friday, that wasn't an option.
I asked to book for Friday, as my companion and I were leaving on Saturday. I was explicitly told by front desk staff that I could not book for Friday until the Tuesday sitting had passed, meaning I had to wait until Wednesday. Astonished by this bizarre procedure—and having three witnesses with me—I questioned it at length, but ultimately had no choice but to accept what I was told.
On Wednesday morning, I called reception to book as instructed, only to be told, "No space, no more." Shocked, I demanded to speak to the manager and was told he wasn't available. When I refused to accept that, reception transferred me to a line that looped continuously. Furious, I hung up and called back. After repeating the previous conversation, reception told me to come down immediately to speak to the manager.
Downstairs, I was met by a rude man who repeatedly shoved a piece of paper in my face outlining the "procedure," completely disregarding what I had been told on Monday. He was arrogant, condescending, and dismissive. When I insisted that front desk staff had given me those exact instructions, he refused to believe me, claiming his staff would never say such a thing—essentially calling me a liar. The whole situation was such a farce that I had to storm off to avoid losing my temper entirely.
I later found out that the person I was arguing with wasn't even the manager, which perfectly sums up the abysmal experience my friends and I had at this hotel. Avoid.
Down hill since last visit
We first visited this hotel 2 years ago and really enjoyed it, however we’ve really seen a change this time round.
Firstly, the staff are great and work hard and friendly. That’s where the positives end. The food was so disappointing in particular the evening meal. At times there was two things to choose from but nothing to match with it for example sauces. Lunch was not bad and breakfast was luke warm at best and the omlettes dripping in oil. We ended up eating out 10 of the 12 nights we were there. There wasn’t much of an atmosphere in the day at all and the evening entertainment was so bad the shows would be max 30 minutes and for the fire show I think he was on stage all of 10 mins. We were really disappointed as the hotel is beautiful and so much potential. We was really looking forward to returning but unfortunately this will be our last time
Definitely not 5 star
Stayed here for a week and left with a bad back and sore neck due to the horrible hard mattress and horrible hard pillows, asked for new pillows and they was exactly the same, one main lift in the hotel which you are waiting ages for when it comes finally it’s full, was in the lift once and it dropped from floor 5 to floor 1 out of no where, told the staff about it and they said they know it’s been happening for ages which they haven’t sorted out, perfectly located with a sea view, food is basically the same every single night, most of the staff are really rude, definitely not a 5 star hotel more like a 3 star, won’t ever come back to this hotel
