We had a wonderful and relaxing stay at Bannisters for my husband's birthday. The room was very clean and spacious with a lovely balcony overlooking the pool. We loved that the hotel supplied binoculars for whale watching too. The infinity pool was definitely the highlight, we enjoyed swimming and chilling by the pool.

Staff were excellent, from cleaners waitresses, reception, nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean. We stayed in a spa room which overlooked the pool and ocean. The only reason i gave 4 stars and not 5 stars was that the toilet and shower are together in one area. If you’ve had a shower and then need to use the toilet even after an hour, the floor is still wet from the shower and need to be careful due to it being a bit slippery.

relaxing but needs a facelift

showing some signs of wear and tear, toilet was very dirty - dark marks at the back which were off-putting. The location is lovely, bed comfy, quiet and peaceful but not the type of luxury accommodation which you would expect at that price point.
