“Good time but wouldn’t return”

Husband and I stayed for 1 night. Check in was very quick. Beautiful lobby and bar area. We stayed on the first floor in a double sea view room.

Husband and I stayed for 1 night. Check in was very quick. Beautiful lobby and bar area. We stayed on the first floor in a double sea view room. Views were incredible over the golf course towards the sea. The room itself was smaller than expected. The window was only able to open a few inches. Like many other reviews, the room was incredibly hot. Thankfully there was a fan provided so had to keep that on the entire time. Sadly no dressing table to be able to sit and do hair and make up. Could do with a bit modernising, some things appeared dated and worn. We went down to the spa but didn’t even stay an hour. There was maybe only 10 or so of us using the spa but it felt very cramped. Only 4 or 5 loungers so didnt have anywhere to relax. Indoor pool very cold. The hydro/heated pool that goes outside is very very small. Doesnt fit many people in it comfortably. few sauna/steam rooms. Luckily the spa facilities were included in our stay, I wouldn’t pay seperately to use the facilities for the likes of a spa day. Not many tables at the bar. For the size of hotel could do with being a bit bigger. Went to the restaurant for breakfast and it was lovely. Not many places have the option for a bacon roll etc so that was a welcome change. Good selection. In general the staff were excellent. Service was excellent. Location was excellent.

Wonderful views, great Spa, impressive bar area and bar meals and the breakfasts were what we would have expected. We hate to find fault but we were so disappointed that our room had a very basic stock of two teabags in the tea making equipment. The room was not cleaned or restocked and the telephone did not work. Thanks to the maintenance man we were able to get teabags and water. The front desk staff provided an explanation for the lack of room cleaning. They described priory was given to preparation of rooms for incoming guests and that they had experienced a high level of discharges and saw nothing wrong in this. We felt a hotel of the standing of the Marine and high room rates this was just not good enough. This was meant to be a special two night break but ended up feeling expensive and very average.

“Room for improvement”

We have just returned from 2 nights at this hotel in double double room. Room was fabulous. Food dreadful (breakfast And dinner) and spa facilities need a lot more of an upgrade. This hotel needs a lot more refinement before it can fully justify what it charges.
