Liked: Cleanliness
Promised much, didn't deliver.
Paid a premium for the self-catering room as we were running a marathon the next day and needed to sort out our own nutrition. The room did not contain a toaster as promised and when we asked for one was brought a snackwich/sandwich maker. Also, in the morning we found out that the stove top wasn't working and by that time it was too late to do anything about it. The room was clean though which was good. The hotel does feel quite dated. The plug on the kitchen counter didn't work so we had to boil water on the floor as that was the only reachable plug. Mainly I feel shafted for paying a premium for a self-catering room and the appliances then either not being present or not in working order.

Disliked: Staff & service
The service was incredibly slow both in dining room and outside on patio and at the pool. The food was almost inedible. The room was clean .The staff were friendly but possibly understaffed thereby causing slow service. No management to be seen. Enjoyed the boat cruise.
