After a few days here my friend and I were referring to the place as "Fawlty Towers"-albeit without a Basil.Enough said?Admittedly,we did have spectacular views of the titular ocean as well as mountains and the rooms were clean,though a little tired, and the beds comfortable.Staff were all very friendly and helpful,especially those in the bar and restaurant.However,reception staff were straight...

My husband and I really looked forward to time away with our toddler for the weekend and the fact that we were on the beachfront made us even more excited. Check in time was at 2 and we decided to rather check in an hour later to avoid having to wait too long well to our surprise we ended up... More

The photo's on the website is really misleading. The guy at reception was very unprofessional and we received no welcome, no information regarding breakfast times or anything else. Thinking that we might find all information in the room, was also to no avail. No information ledger in the room. The couch in the room was torn and bleached. No remote... More

Had a great experience here... Lovely people who couldn't do enough for us. The penthouse is really worth experiencing. Would recommend it highly. Food was great and the breakfast was cooked exactly how we liked it.

From working in the hotel industry for a few years my back is always up when it comes to service We barely greeted by the receptionist who started tying up her hair the moment she saw us and did not find it a problem to exchange requirements and information while doing this. Basically the reception was receptionless, no hello, no... More

Some rooms flooded some toilets did not work and they had to paint walls to hide damp and damage before our delegates arrived. On two occasions the lifts dropped with people in them - only a floor but enough to terrify the ladies! The... More
