Loved our stay, all the staff were so friendly, the hotel is lovely and the rooms are comfy with great views.
Pros:

Absolutely loved our stay, we loved the location, the views over the beach and how close it was to take a little walk down to marble hill beach. The hotel is lovely inside and the leisure facilites are great!

The only thing we were a little disappointed with was the food at dinner, our order was wrong initially and then when our food did come it was a little bland.
