We thought it was a very enjoyable stay, shame it's getting a bit scuffed up now (through use though), however the staff were superb, swimming pool was good, changing area being worked on. No problem, other spa facilities are good. Food was very nice and restaurant was very good. The only other thing I would say is the air-conditioning was a bit too cold, but it worked very well!

The location and view were great! Housekeeping wasn't that great and the front desk person was not that friendly (compared to the locals of the island) - we brought our 6 year old grandson to the pool and on the 3rd time they told us that he wasn't allowed, only the 2 registered guests are allowed - so that was kind of upsetting since we didn't see any literature saying that. There is no air in the room unless you open the slider, but kind of stuffy at night when we lock them.

Rooms are comfy and clean, we’ve been coming here for around 30 years and the communal areas are in a terrible unclean state and smell, new carpets and a lick of paint wouldn’t go a miss. Travel lodge will take over in 2027 if they don’t address it.

This hotel has a fantastic location overlooking Douglas bay. The towels were good quality & size. Most staff were very nice, apart from the person who checked me in, who came across as moody! Rooms at the back get very hot on a sunny day and with no air con, the room fan is not enough. With the window open there is quite a bit of noise from the car park at the back and people leaving the casino late at night making sleep difficult. There were only 2 plug sockets and none near the beds, so difficult when trying to charge 2 devices, and have the fan on and hair straighteners on at the same time! The WiFi was poor so I mostly used my UK data. If booking again, I'd insist on a sea view room which are in the shade in the afternoon.
