The hotel had some issues with the room not being resolved, but overall it was spotless and smelled divine. The rooms are dated and small, and the air conditioning was too cold in the sitting room. The service was inconsistent, with some staff doing their best but others being rude at times. The location, while lovely with views of the bay and sunsets, is a bit far from the city and can get crowded on weekends. The dining experience was below par, with limited options and essentials running out. The facilities need improvement, particularly with keeping up with demand.

I had a really good stay at the hotel. The room, although a bit dated, was magnificent with amazing sea views and a luxurious spa bath. The service was top-notch, with helpful staff. The location was excellent by the ocean, but could get crowded on weekends. The dining experience was average and a bit expensive. Overall, a great place to relax and enjoy the view.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, but they really need a renovation. The service was friendly overall, yet there were instances of neglect around the pool area. The location was convenient for activities nearby but not well maintained. The dining options were limited and not well organized.

The hotel has a beautiful location near Mindil Beach, offering easy access to the vibrant markets and Cullen Bay. The rooms are excellent although some areas need better cleaning due to maintenance issues. The staff are friendly and helpful, but certain services may be understaffed. Dining options are below expectations despite lovely homemade cakes. The facilities are well-maintained but can be improved.

Overall, my stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although in need of refurbishment, provided a decent stay; however, the noisy environment due to poor ventilation was a downside. The service, except for the reception staff, was not as friendly as expected. The location was convenient in some aspects but distant from the main downtown area. The dining experience, although promising, fell short due to staff issues. The facilities had some room for improvement.
