Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Loved our room, quiet , clean with a great king sized bed which was very comfortable making you feel relaxed and cozy. Navigating the many up and down halls was a bit of a maze like challenge , better information on how to find our room would have been helpful as well as where to locate fire exits . The decor is a little ornate from my perspective but pleasing . The staff were very welcoming and friendly, always comforting to tired travellers. The dining facility was very pleasant and the food selection very good.

Clean & comfortable room in a beautiful building with a lovely sea view (paid extra for this, but not much). The bathroom didn't really fit the aesthetic (cheaply done up & out of date), but perfectly clean and functional, which is what matters.

Could be much better given the excellent position it has with views over the bay. Highly disappointed with the dinner option as was expecting fine dining and seafood restaurant as stated on the hotel building in large letters. They couldn't even tell us what the dinner menu would be as the chef hadn't sent it through until very late in the day by which time we had decided to look elsewhere. Room refresh left much to be desired, not even rinsing used cups on one occasion, just the bin emptied that day. Bins in toilet areas ought to have lids on, not be open waste paper bins. Plus point, bed was comfortable and we had a lovely view over the bay.

This hotel struck me as an old-time resort hotel, something out of a movie! The rooms were gorgeous. There was a pool (which we did not use). There were several dining options, a beautiful reception and bar area, and wonderful views of the water from the lobby and from our room.
