Disliked: Cleanliness
The room was cold, draughty and a summer duvet on the bed meant I needed more layers on than normal to sleep. The shower heads were full of black mould and unusable. And when the neighbouring room shut the door to the room the wall lights flickered on and off repetitivly. The food options were however very good, just a pity the restaurant mood music was battling with the kitchens rapnmusic which just made for an unpleasant dining experience.

Poor standard

All in all this has been a frustrating stay and has left a sour taste in my mouth and not what I expected from The Dunes hotel – a room in a poor state of repair , three times having to ask for shower gel , cleaning staff ignoring the "Please clean my room " sign on my door twice : meaning my room was only cleaned once in 3 days / 4 nights and not replacing tea / coffee supplies. For £90+ a night I expect a basic level of maintenance , cleanliness and at least shower gel and tea and coffee – I did not receive this or a decent level of service from your housekeeping department.

Everything was fine with my stay apart from the service in the restaurant the first night. I was really hungry but had to wait ages for my meal. I can only think that they were under-staffed. It was a shame, because the food was nice enough when it came.
