4.6 / 5 4.6 / 5 Anonymous on 18/08/2009 (Family with older children)

The level of service is excellent and the hotel is very child friendly, offering a childs play-room, complimentary baby listening at night and children's high tea every evening. The outside pool is heated and has a section that is the right depth for toddlers and is safely fenced off from the main pool. Our toddler loved it. The location of the hotel means easy access to the beach and cliff-top walks.

Because we used the baby listening service we had to eat at the hotel every night. The hotel's restaurants serve an old-fashioned fine dining menu -- very heavy, rich food -- and charge for a three course meal even if you want less. We literally couldn't eat that every night!

Overall: Very comfortable, great service and lots of support for families.  (108223239)

Very smart Hotel, staff very welcoming and atentive, very clean, free parking, the replacement studio room was fantasic with a balcony to sit out on.

Original room was not up to standard as I would expect for a five star hotel, the bed was badly worn (very very soft no support) I had to sleep in a chair. I requested a room change. Next day, late afternoon a maintainence french polisher person opened our door without knocking, my partner who was naked confronted him at the door as he was about to enter, a further complaint had to be made to management.

Overall: Apart from the summmary of bad points, overall the hotel is excellent, with very good facilities, would visit again.  (107634278)

possibly the most impressive vista and welcome i have ever had in any hotel in the UK. staff took bags, valet parked car, showed us the room etc. the staff were highly professional and attentive without being pushy or condescending.

no satellite tv. soundproofing between ground floor and 1st floor could do with an upgrade.

Overall: very relaxing weekend in a rather grand hotel. a refreshing change from UK hotels. The food in the garden restuarant was excellent, if a little pricey.  (107365178)

Why do we publish ratings from Active Hotels?

Our rating system is designed to give you the confidence to find and book the hotel that best suits your needs. We've worked hard to create a fair and impartial process to collect our ratings so you can always be assured of a great hotel experience.

How do I add a rating?

Unlike other sites that offer ratings, our rating process is by invitation only. This ensures that 100% of the ratings you see on our site come from guests that have booked online with us and stayed at the hotel in question.

All our ratings are created by guests who have booked through Active Hotels (or its sister sites) and completed their stay over the last year. We don't edit, alter or adjust the ratings so you can be sure of unbiased opinions.

How do you manage to collect so many ratings?

48 hours after departure from your accommodation booked through Active Hotels or any of our sister sites, you may be invited to complete a guest review questionnaire. This means that, for most hotels, we're able to post more than 1 guest rating every single week. We currently display over 70,000 ratings and we add hundreds of scores from real guests every day.
