Why we love this property

Culinary options galore
Free full breakfast kicks off each day. British cuisine awaits at the restaurant, and two bars offer perfect spots for evening refreshment.
Water wonderland
Splash into the indoor pool as little ones enjoy the children's pool. After a fun day, unwind and soothe those muscles in the hot tub.

6/10 Good

Everything was nice, the location was great so close to beach. But the pool was not clean specially kids pool and we could not go to pool more than once as it was not clean. Also when we asked for towels change and room clean service, same towels were picked up and was kept which was not ideal and did not expect from such an expensive hotel. When we stay in such expensive hotel we expect towels and room service to be top notch.
