Everything about the hotel was excellent except the spa area. We paid extra to use the facility however only used it twice as it was very noisy with people talking loudly and young children splashing about in the pool. Not a relaxing spa experience at all

Fantastic stay

The hotel is fantastic. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. The spa is excellent and on an evening 7-10pm only over 16s are allowed in which made it more relaxing. The breakfast had a huge selection and very tasty. Would love to stay again.

This is the best in class based on by visits to hotels in the area. Excellent breakfast and probably the best of the best. I cannot list all the positives which are countless but I will mention the 3 different temperature Saunas which i don't even have in my upscale gym. Medium size and nice swimming pool for short laps.I suggest upgrading the thin towels unless I happened to use the floor towel by mistake :) . Great service and overall of top in class hotel. This gets a full mark using the rating system for other hotels in the area.

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful two night stay at the Grand Poet. Great location, with an easy walk to everywhere, yet away from the noisy crowds. Lovely, spacious room, comfortable bed with super soft sheets, beautiful bathroom also. Breakfast was plentiful, including lactose and gluten free options. The Snob bar staff was also very friendly, reserving a table and turning the tv to tennis channel for us. All in all one of the best hotel stays and would happily stay here again!

Great food and service. Just few recommendations for improvement:the room was looking in the courtyard, and had only blackout curtains. That means we have to keep them drawn day time as well otherwise we would be seen from the opposite rooms. Also, there is not a Cafe in the hotel.

The spa was disappointing as there were toddlers in the jacuzzi using it as a swimming pool so you could not get in . The middle room for breakfast is very canteen like which is a pity . Breakfast was amazing- the rooms are spacious. We had a lovely weekend so central.
