April 2024Awesome Hotel. Clean, welcoming, high standards, lovely rooms, comfy beds. Nice pool, sun was coming in through the glass making us feel like we were outside in the sun!! Great facilities, helpful staff. Breakfast cooked to perfection, consisting of a cooked breakfast, selection of oats/yoghurt, selection of breads and croissants and coffee. Really nice lounging areas, cannot fault this Hotel, was even upgraded to a triple room from a double at no extra cost!!!! Really good value for money. Thank you we had an awesome weekend!!

March 2024Amazing experience at this hotel. Stayed one night and wish it was longer. The bed was so huge and comfy, I had the best nights sleep. It is in a great location and plenty of stuff to do around it, shopping & food options ect and entertainment. However, the hotel was lovely and quiet ! The pool was lovely really clean and well looked after as were the rooms and also the water really warm which was nice. Breakfast was good set us up for the day and was worth it. Staff were all really nice Would love to stay again if back in the area!

May 2024Hotel was situated within walking distance of the cruise ship terminal. Has a nice solarium off the back of the hotel. Our air conditioner was not functioning well and the hotel quickly brought in a large fan for us as there were no available rooms. The fan did the trick!

April 2024We were so looking forward to our stay. The hotel looked amazing and, on the whole, it was. It was a shame the reception let it down so badly. Arrived early, 2pm to be advised, check in from 3pm. We had reservations for afternoon tea at 3.30 too. We were told to leave our luggage at the concierge and come back later. (We had been travelling from Manchester since around 9am). We left our cases as advised and returned at 2.50pm. Lots of people collecting their keys and going to their rooms. Approached and asked could we check in now and again was told, ‘Check in is 3pm!’ Of course I asked if that was for us or for everybody as other guests were arriving and given immediate check ins. I was told it was ‘luck of the draw’ and told to come back in 10 minutes. 10 minutes later, the receptionist finally chased up housekeeping to see if our room was ready! (Why was this not done earlier?) Obviously, I wasn’t happy and asked to speak to a manager. Surprise, surprise. No one available! In a meeting! They could contact me later! As if I’m going to sit in my room waiting for who knows, how long. We had afternoon tea booked at 3.30pm. By the time we were sorted, we couldn’t eat it. Woke early next morning and went down to the pool. Jacuzzi closed! Really disappointed. Hotel is lovely, location is great. Customer service is very poor!
