The view from the hotel was gorgeous. It was quite funny trying to find the gym. We had to walk for ages to find it. The hotel was large and like a maze. The dinner at night didnt have too many options. It was ok but nothing wow. There was lots for breakfast in the morning and service was good too.

Nice for older people, coupes and family. Spa mean you can have something to do if the weather is not nice…fairly priced for food which is good as the main town is pricey.

Lovely Reception area, and public areas mostly look like they've had a lick of paint and are clean, hotel quite dated in a lot of areas including the room we had although it was huge and view was spectactular ( delux king sea view floor 4) bathroom wasnt great, very cramped and very dated, not a 4☆ in my opinion.Staff on reception very nice and always very helpful, some bar staff not quite so friendly, breakfast staff very nice, and lots of choice for breakfast both hot and continental. Hotel in a Very good location for going into town and to the harbour. Didnt use the spa or pool or outdoor pool.

1st room was very small and the bed was against the wall. We spoke to reception and they upgrade us to a room where the bed had room either side, no air con and window only opened slightly, no USB plugs. Lovely hot evening so after our show we decided to go back to the hotel to sit on the outside terrace, only to find no lights on the outside terrace. Boiling hot evening and nowhere to sit outside. Only option was to go back to the room.

We arrived an hour before check in and were told we could use the spa facilities until we could check in. We walked ALL the way down to the spa only to be told the doors were broken so could not use the sun loungers to relax. So I asked if we could have a robe and were told that we have to get the robes from reception. Seems a bit backwards. Why wouldn’t they provide robes for the spa, in the spa? So we walked all the way back up to reception who were completely unaware of the broken doors and the fact we could not use the loungers. Then said we couldn’t have a robe until we checked in!! We gave up and went for a drink. Lovely bar area however when my husband ordered a whiskey he was told “we don’t have any whiskey tumblers, would you mind having it in a wine glass?? What?? No thanks please find me a tumbler! Anyway - when we checked in our room was lovely and we had a stunning sea view. We actually had a lovely stay and laughed about the whole thing. The hotel is a little run down but over all very nice and reception staff were very nice. None of it would prevent us from staying again!

The property was nice with free acces to pools inside and out a gym saunas and spa days available at a cost .the room had tea coffee making facilities hairdryer towels iron ironing board and plenty of wardrobe and draw space Room service was available and the seating area inside had plenty of choice of where to sit there was a separate dining room that serves breakfast and dinner and a lounge where you could also order a variety of food too the property also had a secure parking but there is a charge per day for this The room I stayed in was very spacious and had a balcony with a view which was amazing there is a garden to the property and dogs are welcome too The property could probably benefit from a bit of an update As the property is on a hill there is quite a steep hill to climb up and down to the town centre which is only a 5-10 min walk away as is the harbour though a bus (no.64) does run past the hotel too Lots of coastal walks so make sure you take comfy shoes The nearest beach with sand is about a 20-25 min walk away but again can get a bus This property is a quiet and relaxed place and mainly I would say for couples and older people not a family hotel as there is no entertainment and nothing much but the pools for kids There is ample of places to eat and drink something for everyone and the shopping centre is great lots of shops to look around my overall rating for this hotel would be 7.5 out of 10
