Stayed in the king golf view room and loved it. All the reception staff were friendly, nice and accommodating. Room and the view was great and the bed was comfy. The surrounding Torquay area is perfect, with many dining options and ocean scenery. Would definitely recommend staying here and I would definitely be back in the near future. Thanks for having us :)

Very disappointing.

Very Disappointing. Receptionist checking me in not very interested in the guest. Poor explanation of where to find my room so I got very lost. No information given on the facilities. I asked if they had room service, “no, but you can get takeaway and have it in your room was the reply’ !!!! No information given on breakfast options. I did not even know there was a restaurant onsite until I read the dossier in my room at about 10.00 pm that night. A map of the place showing where everything is would have been very helpful. I stayed overnight to attend a function at the hotel, a presentation preceded by dinner. That dinner was also disappointing, tables set with no bread and butter plates, so people used their paper napkins to butter their bread rolls on. When I asked staff if we our table could have bread n butter plates brought out, he said ‘side plates’??? I said yes, I’d prefer to butter my bread roll on a plate, rather than the tablecloth. No condiments on the tables. Then, Alternate drop meals that were luke warm. Heating in my room not working properly. Truly, I could not wait to get out of there this morning. Never again.
