Breathtaking location.
Pros:

The location was fantastic.

Cons:

Apart from the member of staff on reception on arrival, all other staff members were well below par in terms of customer service - restaurant in the evening, at breakfast and reception as I was leaving. Not what I expected.

Gorgeous views from an outstanding hotel
Pros:

Exceptional location with gorgeous views. Great service, even though I arrived early and couldn't get early check in I was able to use the facilities. I got a complimentary upgrade from a single room to a double, still no view but a bit more room! Got a late checkout the next day which really helped me. I had a massage which was great and used the spa facilities in the morning. The pool was very small, but everywhere was clean and in good condition. Wifi was good throughout the property. Nice food at the restaurant too!

Cons:

Nothing!

An enjoyable stay with a fantastic wedding and beautiful location.
Pros:

The Seal house had a fantastic view of the sea both from the living room and the bedroom. The living room was comfortable and well furnished.
The hotel breakfast and dinner was delicious!

Cons:

The bed was not very comfortable and needed a new mattress. There were only 3 mugs and not many spoons etc and could have benefited from more to avoid too much washing up or dishwashing.
I only discovered the lovely beach on the last day!
It would have been nice to see this advertised in the hotel lobby

Slechte ervaring
Pros:

restaurant was goed met vriendelijk personeel, mooie locatie aan zee.

Cons:

Prijs - kwaliteit was waardeloos. Een kamer voor 250 euro per nacht. Je verwacht dan een standaard/basic kamer. Wat we kregen was een erg kleine kamer (afmetingen werden niet gemeld bij booking) die waarschijnlijk was bedoeld als 1 persoonskamer. Er stond een klein 2 persoonsbed met slecht matras. Nu hebben wij een redelijk normaal postuur, maar mensen met een beetje overgewicht zouden hier zeker niet met z'n 2en in passen. Een klein raam dat uitkeek op het dak van de keuken. Het was warm maar het raam openzetten was geen optie vanwege de sterke etenslucht (al vroeg in de ochtend wakker worden met de geur van gebakken worstjes). Een upgrade was niet mogelijk helaas, al deden de dames aan de balie niet veel moeite en gedroegen zich nogal uit de hoogte. Na 2 nachten slecht slapen helaas geen goede ervaring aan overgehouden. Wat meer informatie over de kamer zou handig zijn zoals de afmeting van de kamer en het bed.
