Beautiful Sunrise views, refreshing stay, amazing hotel !
Pros:

I loved the fact that they were family friendly, they provided a baby cot and a feeding chair during breakfast. The staff were so kind and friendly, they even gave us weetbix for the baby from the back. A continental breakfast was amazing, very versatile with many healthy options. The room had an amazing view of the ocean, it was very magical.

Cons:

There is no elavator/lift, which can be tricky if you are carrying bulky things.

Perfect hotel treat for the children and time as a family
Pros:

Very spacious family room! Very convenient with family room close to the pool and other amenities for children to enjoy. The jumping castle was a bonus. Felt safe and other worldly.

Cons:

Service was a bit slow when ordering at the pool. Seemed to have been misunderstandings when staff change shifts at the bar.

50/50 It was not the most pleasant stay I have had, neither was it the most unpleasant.
Pros:

The room that I eventually was given after I pointed out that I had booked and paid for a 'sea-facing' room and not room 321 street facing was quite nice. The in-room dinner of Chef's salad with beef sirloin strips was very nice .

Cons:

1. I had to ask for a salad dressing which had been 'forgotten' according to the waitron
2. Breakfast was unpleasant as none of the staff were forthcoming regarding the set-up, especially for me coming there for the first time. It was only when I was going to help myself make tea that a waitress came to my assistance. When I ordered scrambled eggs, my order was taken reluctantly and I then had to ask if I had to wait for the eggs as the kitchen staff were not forthcoming with anything.
