Lovely hotel in a great location. Rowan at reception was welcoming and helpful. The only thing that made the experience an 8/10 instead of a 10/10, was the room was almost unbearably hot. The air conditioning was antiquated, incredibly loud and largely ineffectual.

in general the stay was excellent, although it shows a sign of wear and tear in the balcony (it is still safe and sturdy) or in the spa/swimming area, all seem to keep in good condition. staff are all helpful and friendly, we were staying in the tiger bay floor (top floor) and it was quiet, the bed is comfortable and the view from the room is very nice. We will be staying again.
