Conveniently located in Sandown close to the shops and restaurants. Car park is free if you are a guest with plenty of room. Very welcoming staff (young lady with Tattoos) gave me all the relevant information and very engaging. The room was clean and tidy with everything you need. Breakfast offering in the morning was cooked and continental, juices, coffee and tea. I had a great stay and good value for money.

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.
