Travel Purpose: business

Positive: Reception staff were excellent on arrival and departure view from the room was superb , View at breakfast again was excellent . Thought the dinner menu was a little limited but it was a wet Monday night in November and hotel wasn't that busy .What i chose was spot on and the service was good . The lights in the dining room are very bright and white which made it feel a bit cold . Could do with a plan of the hotel in the information folder to show where everything was . I knew there was a pool but didnt know where . Well if all i have to complain about is the colour of the white lights !! all in all a great stay and hope to come back in the summer

Negative: dining room lights

Summary: great staff , great views and very comfortable

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: It’s set is a beautiful bay on the Atlantic Ocean and the facilities are second to none. The staff are welcoming, friendly and helpful. We stayed in a junior suite and the room was enormous and very well equipped with two very large TVs and a fantastic view. The gym is brilliant and the spa and indoor pool are so relaxing. If you want to just get away from it all and have no distraction just great food and fabulous scenery then this is the place to be. It was our second visit and we will be back again next year all being well.

Negative: Nothing, it’s a fabulous hotel.

Summary: Top class hotel and facilities. Highly recommend to all types of travellers.
