The staff here was outstanding especially the ladies on reception and the waitress at breakfast- awesome!!! The area is great loved the lift to the beach and the walk down to the Chine. Had a lovely two day’s sightseeing. My room was somewhat rundown but very clean. The TV has issues but not a deal breaker. Breakfast was great .Did not use pool or sauna. For the price good value.

Room facilities were poor. 1) Shower room inadequate; Showerhead not secured adequately, wash basin far too small, toilet seat not properly secured and not properly size matched to toilet pan. 2) TV; unnessessarily large for a small room and controls take a scientist to figure them. 3) Too many plug extensions and adapters.

We had an amazing stay! We were given the choice of which room we wanted on arrival which was an extra bonus. The pool and sauna is a really nice touch too. We didn't order breakfasts but the staff were happy to accommodate teas and coffees in the morning for us. During our stay, one of us became unexpectedly unwell, meaning we needed to request additional cleaning to the room - the staff were very understanding and didn't make a fuss of this. All in all an amazing stay and we will be back again next year!

It was not the best , you can say it is just a place to spend a night in it just for sleep . Facilities were poor, Tv was not working all the time, the room we had was actually poor for the price . the only good thing was that location is near the center and the cliff lift

Illegal practices - reported to fire inspector
I have a very long list of complaints about this dreadful excuse for a hotel, but the first has to be that it is not safe for anyone to stay in. In breach of their legal duties they do not provide fire evacuation plans, do not have emergency exit signage and routinely prop open fire doors. One afternoon in the space of 20 mins I closed a fire door three times (having just complained about it being propped open) and every time it was then propped open again. Ironically they prop open one of the doors with a fire extinguisher - see photos! Having spoken to a family member who is a fire chief he advised me to notify the local fire inspector immediately. The fire inspector then called them and the receptionist admitted she had propped a fire door open. She was instructed to close it and then notify all guests verbally of evacuation plans. We never had that notification so located our nearest fire exist ourselves. They are now being audited by the fire inspector this week In light of the above I guess it’s not surprising that the hotel also completely misrepresents itself on its advertising. It describes itself as having modern and luxurious rooms, whereas it is actually rundown and filthy. Rooms have no resemblance to photos in adverts. Stink of dog, not decorated, smaller than advertised. Receptionist response was “tough”. When I tried to record her, having asked permission, she became violent & tried to snatch my phone. Please take your loved ones somewhere safe instead!

Do Not Book. Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience at this hotel. We were given a room that looked nothing like the pictures, and told there was no other rooms available and that other guests had been given priority of room because of how advance their booking was. Our booking was made 3 weeks prior so I wouldn’t have classes us as last minute. There was MOLD all around the windows in the bathroom and we were lied to that it was “grit” until the cleaner apologised that it was infact mold and was under the seal of the window. The shower pressure was a dribble so that was shocking. The reception girls were not only patronising but extremely unhelpful and u professional. I had to wait more than 30 minutes to try and speak to someone senior in charge as my request to move room was not taken seriously and when they eventually did show us a different room it was still outdated and not much difference from room 1. We were never refunded for our first nights stay however we were for our second night as we asked to leave the hotel and we found somewhere else to stay. This hotel was dirty, and didn’t make you feel at home. So disappointing and if I had not pushed for the situation to be handled we would have gotten nowhere. Do better.
