Good but room for improvement…

Nicholas C (London) on Jan 05, 2025

Broadly, had a lovely holiday here last year. It wasn’t perfect - arrived at the hotel and nobody was around at the front or in reception because “no-one called ahead to let us know you were on your way”, staff service was inconsistent between servers, breakfast was a bit chaotic and disorganised, bird mess on dining chairs in the restaurant was a real issue (and reading recent reviews, still seems to be) and the hotel could do with updating (some common areas and bathrooms in the rooms). One evening we had booked the “on the beach” dinner experience. It ended up being set up on the concrete step nearby and wasn’t what was advertised so we decided to cancel it as we arrived. On check-out, I was charged for items from the mini-bar which were not consumed and it took two weeks and an escalation to the hotel’s GM to get this addressed. Little things, but need to be addressed swiftly and professionally to get this hotel back up to where it should be - especially when there are other very good hotels nearby to choose from. That said, the location is excellent and we enjoyed the pool and beach areas. We have decided to return in March 2025 because overall we had fun, but recent poor reviews are very concerning. I hope that the hotel management team is prioritising and addressing the points that guests are raising - I would hate to experience similar issues in a couple of months’ time.

Hotel in a superb setting, with very comfortable rooms. The staff are friendly and attentive. The breakfast buffet is delicious. An ideal hotel for a change of scenery. We had an excellent stay in every respect and would highly recommend this hotel.
