Reviews and Ratings
My morning after the late night wedding reception at the hotel was very relaxing. The room was spotless and well-appointed, ensuring a comfortable stay. The supervision from the staff was clearly present to facilitate guest reception and ensure there was enough food available. The location was stunning, near the sea and Cooley Mountains, though it needs some updating in certain areas. The dining experience was all that one could have asked for, providing original dishes, although it could be more adapted to guests from abroad.
The hotel is in a convenient location just off the motorway, offering great leisure facilities such as a pool with fantastic views of the mountains. The rooms, located in the new wing close to an external smokers area, were spacious, clean, and very comfortable, although in a separate annex of the hotel away from most accommodation.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with modern amenities, but lacks interactive guides and a heavy duvet on the bed. The service is exceptional, with courteous and accommodating staff. The location is convenient with scenic surroundings, but dining fell short with long wait times and reheated dishes.
