Sea view wonderful! Staff slow to respond and sometimes forgot about us in the restaurant or not in reception when required which was disappointing. Lady in reception on the phone for ages this morning when we wanted to check out so we gave up and left our key cards on the desk. Not good!!

Overall, more good than bad.

Nice hotel with great facilities. Outdoor pool is warm and sauna / steam rooms were decent. However, I expected more of a view from a 'premium room' (picture attached). Annoyingly, the leisure centre (roof in picture) made an annoying humming throughout the night. Check-in was probably the fastest I've ever encountered and all staff with the exception of one miserable bar worker were absolutely excellent. Leisure staff were partcularly excellent. Breakfast was very nice and dining has great views out to sea.

Where the hotel was situated was lovely with access to the private beach. The staff were a little slow and unattentive. The pool has a bar but for beer you have to walk to other end of the hotel which is very odd. Nice and clean and breakfast i cannot fault, would stay again.

Break away with husband

We had a balcony room, overlooking the sea and harbour , view and location was excellent, hotel very tired , could be magnificent, and obviously as been in the past , staff very hit and miss, reception staff was lovely, restaurant staff was lacking , was going to have dinner one night in the hotel , so stood waiting to be seated , staff did acknowledge we was there , but kept us waiting that long we ended up eating out , I would understand, if they had been very busy ,but they really wasn’t.i also don’t understand there dress code , very shabby, faded jeans , track suit bottoms t shirts not a very professional look for staff , and that carried through with there lack of service, menu could have been a lot better, Pool and spa staff was lovely , outside drinks bar was added bonus
