Don't be fooled, not like the pictures. Very tired and dated hotel in need of a lot of work. The attached Connaught hotel seemed better but the dining options was the very same menu over 4 days for lunch and dinner. Listed as 4* but that needs a major rescore. Staff were always friendly. I asked for a refund for one night as I had to leave early for a family emergency this was refused which was disappointing but has no baring on my review.

The staff were super friendly and helpful. We had evening meals there twice which were imaginative and delicious. The breakfast had everything you could imagine on offer, all top quality food. It was just a five or ten minute walk to the beach, pier, aquarium and other facilities.

The staff were simply excellent and made this trip for us. The room was ok although the furnishing and decoration was dated. The room did have cobwebs hanging from the ceiling though and it could have been in a better level of cleanliness, but this would have required modernisation of the room itself. The bathroom was ok but not like in the pictures on the site - again it needed modernisation. The Spa facilities were excellent as was the gym. Food was excellent. Overall, it was a mixed bag - we loved aspects of the hotel, although we had to upgrade to get a room we found acceptable. However, for the price it was actually very good - for spa and hotel facilities it was great - the pool and sauna and gym are very good. The staff were super helpful and polite.
