Overpriced hotel, you don't get what you pay for here. False advertising on some aspects and you have to pay an extra £20 per hour per person to use the hot tub and sauna which are also currently still under renovations. The spa is just as overpriced as the hotel so the complimentary hour they offer in the hot tub/ sauna is just worked into the price.

Beautiful hotel in a stunning setting, overlooking the sea Our room in one of the seaview suites, a short walk from hotel entrance, was very well appointed, with a seperate seating area with comfortable sofa, TV and tea/coffee making facilities. It also had an uninterrupted view of the beautiful coastline..well worth the extra money to enhance your stay!

Beautiful hotel

The accommodations were very nice — a beautiful hotel with plenty of options. Both dining areas were lovely: one casual and the other more formal, offering nice variety. The hotel staff were pleasant and accommodating throughout my stay. However, the waitress in the formal dining room was quite impersonal and unfriendly, which was disappointing. The hotel offers great views of the ocean and is in a decent location, not too far from the causeway. Overall, a very nice stay with just a small area for improvement in service.
