The best pool we've seen. Just an issue with cleanliness of this property. The pool had hairs, lots of debris floating around, it makes one feel unclean and perhaps needs investment in a good vacuum. House keeping was friendly but again not thorough. We had chunks of hair in the bath and underwear from previous guest in the wardrobe (its probably still there). Main complaint though was the noise. We are a quiet family who like our sleepins. Being right by the pool gate, amongst noisy tourists who slammed doors and yelled dow the corridor from 6.30am, meant we were exhausted and didn't do a lot of what we'd planned. The property itself is beautiful, prime setting, friendly and helpful front of house staff. Coffees on point.

Hotel customer service was really great and facilities were clean. The rooms we stayed in which had the twin beds were satisfactory, however, the partition doors were not working when we arrived. Explained to the front desk in the lobby and the guy we spoke to didn't do anything about it the the next day. I spoke with another staff member and she sorted it out immediately after I explained what had happened. She was very apologetic and within half hour the maintenance guys immediately came to our hotel room and fixed the doors immediately. They were very quick with the repair job and we were very satisfied with work they did The beds and pillows were comfortable. The environment is very friendly and family orientated. The downfall is the turning on the shower and waiting for the water to turn on and figuring out the which way to turn on the shower lever. It was not straight forward. Recommend getting the breakfast added to your stay. Really good selection of cold and warm breakfast menu. Nice to see the friendly ducks in the morning and evening.

Good but last night disappointed

Hotel is away from town centre which is ok as it’s on a wonderful peninsula. Had a good stay except we were upgraded to a disabled room and would change our room. Put last night we decided to eat alacarte we both ordered different meals yet the waitress served 2 of the same, it then took 40 minutes for my wife’s meal. Not ideal we had to push the point it was unacceptable, offered a free drink, or free starters we said no. They went back and forth until they decided to give my wife’s meal or free. They really should have comped the whole meal as it was the waitress who made the mistake and really didn’t care saying why doesn’t she just have what I delivered. Just left a bad taste on my mouth

Great location, but tired.

Great location by the water, but room and bathroom are in need of a refresh. Quite a lot of mould in the shower. Towels were stained and old. One face cloth was grey and my daughter found a towel with make up all over it.
