We stayed here for our wedding anniversary. If you are after a good night's sleep after a day spent walking along the beach, sightseeing and sampling cocktails, then room 24 isn't conducive to this. The pillows were rock hard, the carpet was stained, there were no side tables or ledge so my book, alarm clock and bottle of water had nowhere to sit and the shouting from people walking outside could be heard until 3am. I've never been so happy for daylight to arrive.
We had booked a table in their restaurant for dinner and after being seated we were informed that they were short staffed so we would need to place all orders at the bar - hardly romantic. The last thing we felt like doing was queue every time we needed something else. Breakfast however was nice as were the staff serving it.

Every towel had a stain on it, the bathroom blind couldn't be pulled down owing to the broken chain and every inch of our room was in need of an uplift. The best part for us was checking out, sadly. read more
