The views were spectacular, staff were excellent and could not do enough for you meals were delicious, the hotel is quite tired looking and could do with a fresh look, but it wouldn't stop me from visiting again. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay for the two nights we were there.

ALAN, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Expensive for what they offer in regards to the bedrooms and bathrooms, they rely on the stunning location to overcharge & offer substandard accommodation. Great location & could be a great hotel if they upgraded.
