Lovely stay in the Penthouse - good space and amazing views. Hotel is a little tired in places but that is reflected in the price plus the main bar area and staff more than make up for it.
I stay here when on the island for work as it’s a good location, good value and always clean. There’s also a comfortable bar and restaurant on site which I find great after a long day and breakfast is self serve and has good choice for a quick bite before heading out.
The room was huge and gorgeous. The bathroom was very nice. But if I'd known my "ocean view" was blocked by scaffolding, I would have booked elsewhere. The bar and the restaurant were excellent, but the breakfast was cold. And between the vent in the bathroom being noisy and the fact that I could hear the bar music all night long from my room, it wasn't particularly quiet. All in all it was a good stay.
Average at best. Stayed there for a wedding with my 18 month old son for 2 nights. Firstly, they charge £15 per night for a travel cot which is shocking. I've stayed in 5 hotels with my son and never been charged before. Put me in a room where i had to get up and down stairs with a pram, an 18 month old and bags on my own. Also charged me £3.10 for a pint of milk to fill up a bottle.
Breakfast was ok. Tiny plates and cheap filter coffee.
