Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The hotel was smart clean and tidy, the swimming pool was great. Breakfast was tasty overall very impressed.
Excellent in every way. Brilliant breakfast menu, Staff friendly and not intrusive. Fabulous swimming pool and great location. Will certainly be going back.
Great stay .... i needed some space for some personal issues, staff brilliant ... pool, jacuzzi, steam room unexpected bonus ..... Sandown ideal place to reflect and readjust
It's a great place for a short stay with family. The pool is a plus. There is a good breakfast and great service. With your car, you can get to any other place on the island in a reasonable time.
Our stay was great. It was only for one night, but we found the staff very friendly and helpful. The room was lovely, and very clean. We thoroughly enjoyed it, and plan to return in the future.
