The hotel is lovely, our room was fantastic and clean, the amenaties were great with SPA, Pool, steam room & jacuzzi, didn't eat in the restaurant in the evening as we went out but breakfast ( buffet style ) was nice with good variety. Staff were fantastic and the area is quite quiet without being lifeless and we had a superb view over the beach. Also easy walk into Hythe or short drive to Sandgate and Folkstone. Will certainly come back as this place is a real gem

Overall very good. Stayed at this hotel 4 times in past few years, it’s good value for money except for this time we paid for the breakfast. In my opinion it’s expensive for what it was. I’ll go back but no breakfast next time

Enjoyable stay with Spa and Golf.

Two nights stay. We were able to check in early which was nice and our request for a room on a lower floor was granted. I played the golf course twice - it was very well maintained when considering comparable priced courses. Greens a bit patchy. We ordered food from the martello bar twice which was good and ate at the Coast restaurant which was fantastic. My wife thought the bed was a bit too firm but i think she's overly sensitive to bed comfort at the moment as she's 6 months pregnant! She had a pregnancy massage in the spa which she said was amazing - also a good price.
