Always great service

Excellent staff as always and a late checkout. Rooms could do with new refrigerators. Plus as a woman in the gym on her own it would be good to either have the walking machines face the door - or have mirrored glass on the wall opposite the door so I can see what is happening behind me and who has come in.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff always there to assist. Beds were comfortable. Excellent reatuarant and food. Buffet breakfast was amazing. Doubletree tour bookings in the foyer arranged some tour bookings for me and even a last minute rental car as most places were booked out.

Early checkin

There should be some considerations if a couple is coming early in the morning because that’s the only direct flight available. To make them sit till 3 pm is really bad. We already spent whole night awake. They could have charged an amount but to send a message that you book one extra day was absurd when all rooms are booked.

Good location. Room adequate. Small patio was basic unswept and uninviting. Was not informed pool was out of action when made booking. Would not have stayed otherwise. However when the pool area is finished it looks like it will be lovely. Would try this location again in the future
