As an Expedia VIP Gold tier member, I sent email to reservations who said that an upgrade would be given if available upon arrival. hotel reception disagreed and insisted they do not give room upgrades whatsoever despite the listing on Expedia having VIP access and my account saying I’m entitled to it and me showing them the email from their own reservations team confirming such We had booked two rooms and requested adjoining rooms so we could be close to our 14 year old. The hotel reservation team confirmed availability, yet on arrival the hotel reception wouldn’t do this either. No amount of discussing this would get them to budge. And it became embarrassing stood at reception having to try to stick up for what I’m entitled to and had been agreed with their own team. At this point I emailed back to the reservations team, but have not yet heard back (I am now home). I also contacted Expedia through chat, they were less than helpful telling me to discuss with hotel. The hotel was hardly full - judging by the amount of people at breakfast, dinner and in the bar. Plus the hotel pool & area was closed - leaving just one small area to sunbathe (with approx 10 sun loungers and a similar number of deckchairs. My advice is don’t book here. The only thing 5* is the price. The hotel has seen better days, customer service is far from 5*, breakfast is ok, food in Barbary restaurant is average, some amenities are closed despite Expedia’s information.

Amazing yacht hotel

Fantastic trip as always - amazing friendly welcome and shown to our room at 11am as on an early flight. Luckily the weather was fantastic so headed straight out. We were gifted 2 free cocktails and received a birthday bottle of fizz. Our only issue was not being able to use the pool facility as it looked closed for maintenance/ sadly we wasn’t made aware of this as took swimming wear to use this roof top pool. It hasn’t ruined the trip and we’ll be visiting again later in the year. As usual all the staff are so lovely and my birthday visit was outstanding.

It was a great location, buffet breakfast was great, hotel was clean and staff was friendly. The air conditioning in the room must be controlled, it was not cold enough even after they checked it and we had a hard time sleeping. Pool was closed so we couldn't use it and that was something we were looking to use speacially on a warm day. Wish the spa had a hot tub as well. I wouldn't call it a luxury hotel at all but it was nice.

Best for couples

Fun idea and the decor was lovely. It’s basically a tiny cruise ship. The noise from the surrounding bars did keep me up late into the night. Our suite was not well suited for families even though there was a full sofa couch to have them sleep. The only bathroom was in the bedroom and had a lot of glass so everyone had to evacuate the room when someone was showering. Getting ready in the morning took longer than we’d have liked.

Lovely yacht at the point of entry. Staff seem welcoming however on checking we were given a 3 star room, door seems broken with a gap, see through glass door to the bathroom, toilet and shower, no privacy what-so-ever. Stained and dirty floor. We were 2 mature ladies travelling for the first time. After complained we were offered a twin room but on viewing the room, the other receptionist booked in someone else in, knowing we were in it viewing, leaving us no room. Am grieving after my dad's passing and just needed time out for a few days. The checking process did put a negative start to my stay and felt very uncomfortable.
