Positive: The hotel itself lovely and clean. The housekeepers are lovely, polite and helpful. Now the negatives. If i had known the hotel was a building site i wouldn't have stayed there. The building works starts at 7.15am through to the evening. The nearby outside pool and private beach are not nearby. The hotel lacks information boards re the dining facilities, prices, opening times. The spa facilities are poorly signposted. The stairs to the spa section always have wet floor signs and a towel on the steps, this is a trip hazard for people with mobility issues.

Construction site

I’m writing to express my deep disappointment with our recent stay at your hotel. When we made the booking, there was no mention whatsoever that the property is currently a construction site. This lack of disclosure is unacceptable, especially given the premium price we paid for what was meant to be a relaxing, high-quality experience. Instead of the peaceful sea view stay we expected, we were met with constant noise, dust, and disruption. Construction work often began as early as 7:00 AM, making it impossible to rest or enjoy our time. The overall environment was noisy, messy, and far from what was advertised. To make matters worse, we paid extra for a sea view room, yet the experience was entirely overshadowed by the construction activity. When we raised our concerns with the reception, we were met with no sympathy or support, which only added to our frustration. Given the misleading nature of the listing, the level of disturbance, and the lack of customer care, we are requesting a full refund for this stay. We would not have booked this hotel had we known the actual conditions. I look forward to a prompt resolution.

Very much enjoyed the hotel, once again, after our last trip 8 years ago. One lift was out of service the whole time, though, which sometimes caused difficulties. Otherwise, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was good and our room was very comfortable. The hotel is in a good location, but there is a lot of building work going on outside the hotel and this didn't always feel very safe.

Check in great and efficient. Room for first bight great except for big threatening german shepherd dog on adjacent balcony. Asked for room change due to fear of dog, unable to accommodate and fairly off hand dity manager came across as dismissive of my fears and concerns. Room changed progressed following afternoon. Reat of stay fine. Building under renovation and therefore noisy (cannot be helped), bathroom cleaning needs improvement. Great location, views and most staff delightful

Staff were very good. Put full effort in… but impossible to overcome the construction ongoing across the entire hotel. Shame we were not advised until check-in. When done it will be nice - and our room was spacious & well appointed - but the noise starts at 7am and resonates to all rooms.

Lots of construction in and around hotel. Woken at 7am every morning (including weekend) by loud power tools being used on floor above. Dusty and smelly, just like a building site, which it actually was. Should be decent when work is complete, that didnt help me though.
