Excellent

Property was lovely. Room was a really nice size however you could hear footsteps from the room above and the bunk beds were creaky. Disturbed our sleep. The carpet outside our room was filthy and had an odour. The hotel had a lot of different activities and a lovely pool. Did find some of the staff miserable but there breakfast staff were friendly. The location was lovely right opposite the beach with great views.
No AC in the family room!
Dust everywhere on the walls etc.
Carpets musty damp and stained
Curtain rod fell off in room
I had an immunocompromised Toddler with me so we are particular about these things and safety.
Jacuzzi dirty
Furniture outside in balcony broken!
Honestly the key system for reserved parking is a joke we were expecting a specific spot but it's open to park in any spot after unlocking the bar.
Food was OK, breakfast decent
Pool was fun soft play was great
Cleaning crew friendly
Mid Night check in was great and smooth
Location is decent
We dint pick the cheapest hotel so was quite disappointed over all

Room for improvement
Not as good as our first trip.
Bolts were loose in kids bunk beds. Shower needed repair.
Staff were helpfull to resolve, but both issues should not have happened.
2 meals were very good, but the steak was poorly done, asked for medium and got rare.
Location is great though, and facilities are good overall.
We may return for a 3rd mini break, unsure
Hotel was beautiful and clean. All the staff where very friendly, food was great with a great view of the beach. Only down side was the temperature of the room, we had a none sea view room (119) and it was really hot in the middle of the night. We had the door and window wide open with a fan on, both my kids where very sweaty and I had to get up twice to go stand outside in the middle of the night.
Perfect location for Fistral Beach and surfing. Our family room was spacious with a terrace with a sea view which was lovely. The reception staff were faultless providing all the information you need about checking in and dealt with every question we had flawlessly. The lobby area is lovely to relax in and have a well-earned rest after a day out. The restaurant serves good food and has a good range of breakfast options.. and that leads me onto the restaurant team. Halo and his team are wonderful. Very attentive, very funny, very helpful - they turned a potentially stressful day due to an injury into a memorable one. Absolutely recommend the hotel to equally adults or families alike. We will be returning!
We had a lovely time. It was our second time staying at the hotel. We love how close it is to the beach. Our son (6) lived the pool and the cinema.
Our room could have been bigger, not enough room for our clothes and wet beach towels to dry.
The cove restaurant is very pricey for avarge food options.
Staff is very friendly.
Stayed here a few times - always brilliant. On this occasion food service was very slow (1hr from ordering to arriving) even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Great place, great hotel, lovely pool and friendly staff.
