I was delighted with the room which had a beautiful Sea view. We couldn’t use the balcony which was unsafe but that was okay, better to be safe! It was clean and very comfortable. Very friendly staff . The breakfast was fabulous! It was a busy time but although we didn’t get to breakfast until 9am we weren’t kept waiting and the staff did all they could to help us enjoy the plentiful and delicious breakfast selection. I’d definitely recommend and i would stay here again.

The Imperial Hotel was excellent in every way, the sea views were spot on. The staff were brilliant. The indoor pool and jacuzzi were very good. The only let down for me was not having Air Conditioning in the bedrooms, I did manage to source a pedestal fan, but without that I don't think I could have managed to shave or sleep. But otherwise The Imperial Hotel is highly recommended for anyone.

The room was lovely and large. The view was fantastic. But the place needs some money spending on it. The young bar staff need training I was over priced on a few occasions for both food and drinks. Shame really as it was a good stay.

The hotel suite was sadly lacking in design attention and had no air conditioning. It requires full redecorating to match the finery in the public areas. The staff however were excellent- well done all of you. Breakfast was also lovely and plenty of it, staff remained calm and were professional under pressure at busy times.
