8/10 Good
"The staff and cleaners were lovely, we enjoyed our stay here and they upgraded one of our rooms due to the occasion which we loved! The staff and concierge were absolutely lovely and they helped us as much as they could. The whole hotel has an outdated look though, which if upgraded would make this hotel an amazing one, but the corridors and room have a very old feel to it and a few of the things in the rooms were missing/broken. We only stayed for 2 nights so it wasn’t a massive problem. The restaurants close to the hotel were lovely, I’d highly recommend Caviar & Bull which is on the property, around a 3-5 minute walk. The beach was lovely and all the amenities around were amazing. There were so many pools to choose from! Overall this property was amazing but is extremely outdated, thank you for the stay!"
