I had the most awful experience. I paid in advance and called and they confirmed check in was 24/7. It was New Year’s Eve and we arrived at 1.40am. The man on reception said that there was no record of a booking and that they were fully booked. I showed my itinerary number he said there was nothing he could do. When I called Expedia the hotel said we were marked as a no show!!! Not only is this appalling but it is dangerous. Leaving a vulnerable woman with no where to stay on new year eve. The other hotels were all booked. Now I am fighting my right for a refund. I will be taking this much much further

Beware!They may keep your money& refuse a room.

All I can say is that the reception staff and manageress when I arrived were appalling and refused to let me check in so I had to go and book a different hotel. Costing more money and effort. I had booked as normal with hotels.com so had a genuine paid for booking . On arrival I was repeatedly told I had to show a photo id or provide a card for pre authorisation. I had neither with me on this occasion and offered a bank card saved on my phone wallet . They refused this option. The staff unswervingly relied on their terms and conditions ( which were only sent after they had accepted my booking and had my payment!) and quickly got a hotel owners card out and said take it up with the director . They would not let me stay . Very inhospitable and very bad attitude and with a ready pile of their directors business cards I suggest they have done this before . This really upset me and so far has cost me money with no apologies or refund offered. I was totally surprised by their unfathomable attitude from what is supposed to be a hospitality industry. There was zero hospitality and only repeated “ computer says no” “refer to our T&Cs “nonsense . I have never experienced this before and it is likely that they have acted with no regard to consumer rights or laws. I await a directors response but in the meantime : Avoid this place like the plague .

The hotel was ok. Our compact room was really tiny. Breakfast was ok but would have liked fresh fruit and nicer bread and some rolls. Evening meal was very good. Towels very thin and only got one hand towel. No bath mat on second night. Pool was very small. It looked much bigger in the picture.
