Lack of attention to detail for such an expensive hotel. An incredible setting and beautiful place to stay but sadly let down by it’s service. Meals were rushed with no time between courses. If you like club music playing loudly whilst you eat Walters bar is the place for you. Sadly we didn’t and it marred a lovely evening. Great hotel but overpriced for the service it delivered.

5 star facilities, 2 star service
Great updated 5 star facilities, but service is not 5 star, or even 4 star level unfortunately. We've stayed 2 years in a row but will look elsewhere for our summer break next year.

Amazing property, and amazing weather. Our cottage was lovely. The staff are doing really well giving the pingdemic. I was disappointed my teens were only allowed in the pool for 2 hours a day with the little kids, I think this should have been more prominent on our booking.

6/10 Good

Good breakfast, otherwise ... Avoid!
Positives: Incredible views during breakfast. Nice bath Nice shower gel Receptionist showed us around Negatives: Had to close curtains as i was assigned the room that had 'inland' view which meant i saw other visitors rooms Rubbish being thrown out (bottles) in the middle of the night. 3 times during the night! Trains start around 4/5am so expect to be woken up by them. 2-3 trains an hour. Bed is hard! Instant coffee facilities inside the room( 2 sachets of normal coffee and 2 decaffs). At this rate i would expect a coffee machine. Pool is closed (only found out when walked by) Was not asked how was my stay, hence my review here No information about extra measurements due to Covid Left this place tired as could not get proper sleep due to the noise during the night

Not what they show in the photos.
They gave us the wrong room. Terrible customer service. The apartments are not looking into the sea.

4/10 Fair

Disappointed
Magnificent location, unfortunately the hotel does not live up to its glossy website or 5* aspirations. A massive disappointment was that the pool and spa are currently a building site.
Nice when is finished?
