Very disappointed.
Great location, should be a really good hotel, but expensive as stayed over Xmas and new year, Wifi completely useless, couldn’t connect, ridiculously slow speeds, keeps logging you off. Spoke to reception on a number of occasions, they know there is a problem, but IT is centrally procured and they can do nothing to fix. Not good enough in this day and age. Severely limited us as struggled to communicate with family, book excursions, etc. eventually found by chance you could sit outside library and use free wifi which was 100 times better. Also some serious defects in room due to age and lack of maintenance that left us continually having to be careful not to break fragile fixtures and fittings. Staff mostly very friendly and helpful, where they could be, and great location, but needs updating.

Not relaxing and uninviting
Not nearly enough car parks for guests. We had to walk for miles to park the car. With kids this was a deal breaker. The staff were rude or couldnt speak english. When we asked for a table at the run down bar and restaurant we were stared at and slowly backed away. We also had people open our room door before 9am each morning and without knocking. A staff member was sprinting through the hallway and collided with me and my 1 year old and 3 year old at full speed. No lifts or help to get up the illegally narrow stairways with standard suitcases. The shower pressure was so pathetic we had to fill a beach bucket to wash the kids. There is no hot spa even they its advertised and crossed out all over the property. This place was terrible.

Terrible musty smell in the room. Bought our own air freshner, which didn’t help. Open sliding doors to try and air room, made no difference. Smoke to staff the next day, only thing they could do was give us a can of air freshner. Staff did come and look and send it was probably the vents. Sprayed air freshner, made a little difference. Room was right next to the Laundry, which was very noisy. Only enjoyable part was leaving for the day and on return sitting on the balcony looking at the view, also to avoid as much of the smell as possible. Could not wait for check out day
