Visited this hotel in 2024 and the switch to getting Sea View Rooms with balcony was a great decision. These rooms were bigger and better than last year's. We did have problems with the lifts but they were dealt with very quickly. The reception and breakfast staff were very helpful but we had one occasion where one of the bar staff moaned because we ordered a latte coffee which he got for us and then another member of the group arrived at the bar and we ordered another which he moaned about and asked why didn't we order two at the same time. The food was good but their version of bacon at breakfast was not as nice as the bacon we have in the UK so that is the only change I would make there. The gentleman in the golf booking room was always very helpful and also lent my brother a driver as his was damaged on the flight over. The cafe attached to the hotel is good but could do with offering portions of chips on the menu which would be good. A few people asked about chips with a lunch snack. All in all a very enjoyable stay.
