Sadly Not impressed with the location!
Pros:

Great inside, but sadly it looks a monstrosity from across the bay.

Cons:

Cost and quality of the breakfast! For £25 I would have at least expected freshly squeezed orange juice, a better selection of fruit, I would say the breakfast is on a par with Premier Inn but at twice the price.

A really nice place to stay.
Pros:

Clean. Comfortable beds. Lovely views. Friendly staff, particularly at breakfast. Good breakfast. Lovely pool and spa.
A really nice place to stay.

Cons:

Only negative was the price of the bar. A fiver for a small bottle of coke and 12.5% service charge on top. I think because everything else was good, it annoyed me more than it probably should.
