Possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! The design is impeccable, every detail is well thought out and looks absolutely beautiful. We had a balcony room which was simply gorgeous, it felt like the best room in town - very spacious, calm, wonderful view. All the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Truly a perfect stay and would already love to return.

This is my third stay here after deciding to visit every year on my birthday three years ago. The hotel is wonderful - the decor is warm and cosy but stylish. I loved my room and that sea view is unbeatable. The breakfast is delicious and incredibly generous - I always get the full English but the juices, pastries and other bits at the buffet are also great. I also had the most amazing massage and facial at the spa! The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

Our room was very good with a lovely view. Our welcome from front desk was quite cold which is why staff only get 4 out of 5 as the other staff were good.
