Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perched on a hillside overlooking the sea, providing a serene atmosphere. The rooms offer a fantastic seaview and are furnished with wood panelling, although the shower could use some improvement. The service is top-notch with attentive staff, except for a less welcoming receptionist. Dining with a view across the bay is delightful, featuring local products, but the use of cold plates is a downside. The location is stunning, especially with a view of the opposite bay, making it worth a visit.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel overlooking the harbor with decent windows and a balcony, creating an excellent atmosphere. The service was quick and efficient, with attentive staff who made sure everything ran smoothly. The location on the hillside was stunning, although it lacked evening restaurant options and entertainment on Sundays. The dining experience was enjoyable with a magnificent view across the bay and delicious fresh vegetables. The facilities were top-notch.
The hotel offers fantastic seaview rooms with lovely clean crisp sheets and a comfortable bed. While the rooms are great, the TV is smaller than my laptop. The service is a mix of very attentive staff, especially the restaurant and deputy managers, along with a sour faced receptionist uttering the odd 'five fifty'. The location, situated on the hill overlooking the sea, provides a magnificent view of the river, but it may not be favorable for those looking to be right in the town center. The dining experience offers a view across the bay, yet the service could be improved with warm plates and more interactive staff. The hotel's facilities are adequate, providing only the basics for a comfortable stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The location is simply amazing, close to nature and a perfect spot to relax. The rooms were cozy and clean, and the staff made my stay even better with their attentive service. However, the dining experience lacked variety. The facilities were well-kept and enjoyable, offering a relaxing atmosphere.
The hotel offers a modern bedroom with a wonderful shower and an excellent view. The service is attentive and efficient, though a bit more customer service training could enhance the overall experience. The location is convenient on the seafront with a short walk to the ferry terminal. The dining with a view across the bay is a highlight, but the cold plates for serving were a letdown. The facilities are well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of the stay.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were cozy and beautifully decorated with amazing views and verandas overlooking the water. The staff, especially the restaurant manager and deputy manager, worked incredibly hard and should be commended for their exceptional service. However, a bit more customer service training could benefit some staff members. The location was stunning on the hillside, with panoramic views of the hills beyond and easy access to Paterson's restaurant. The dining experience, while offering a lovely view across the bay, could be improved in terms of plate warmth and variety. The facilities were top-notch with everything needed for a fantastic stay.
