Our room was upgraded when I arrived. It was a lovely room with an outside bath. I liked the view from there very much. The staff looked cute and forthcoming.

The hotel took money from my account without advising me. The messages sent were misleading. The hotel did not provide any bowls for the dog.

Amazing Birthday Celebration!

the staff were really good. Poppy upgraded us to a beautiful sea view room for our birthdays. Lunch at the South Beach Restaurant was delicious, and Steven was attentive, especially with the nut allergy. We enjoyed a film in the cinema room and a meal in Harry Rocks, with wonderful service from Alexander.

The outdoor pool and sunbathing area felt a little small for the size of the hotel.

I enjoyed drinks at the south beach restaurant, with excellent service from Andre. My upgraded sea view room was spacious. The bed was very comfortable and the Mermaid shots of spiced dark rum were a nice complimentary touch.
