Pros:

Perfect for golf trip. Rooms and use of the sauna was excellent.

Cons:

Staff couldn’t help with an electric car charging point - they could definitively say there was one and dint know its location. Breakfast was excellent but the bar food in the evening was just okay.

We were very pleased!
Pros:

We were unable to check into the hotel on our scheduled date due to a storm. After contacting the hotel management, they kindly rescheduled our reservation. We arrived today and were very pleased with the service. The room was cozy and very clean. The ocean view from the window was magnificent. The service and staff were top-notch. We are very pleased and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Cons:

Everything was great!

great staff , great views and very comfortable
Pros:

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

Cons:

dining room lights

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

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.

Cons:

Nothing, it’s a fabulous hotel.
