Rooms very comfortable and staff very accommodating.

Pool was not warm until a complaint put in. Then it rained for two days. So only had one real day at the pool. Knowone new about dining room specials, which are well advertised.

God placering men manglede hygge

8.0

Placeringen og værelset

Restaurant området var tarveligt for et 5-stjernet hotel. Indenfor var der ekstrem dårlig akustik og udenfor var der ingen hygge det var nærmest som om at det var der hvor de fyldte klor på poolen. Meget underligt for et 5-stjernet hotel

Our stay was awsome

10.0

From check in to check out our stay was perfect, Jamie at check in looked after us and the guys who cleaned our room were perfect, couldn’t rate this hotel higher

Honestly, this is a very hard one to answer as we were so happy. If there was one thing to have a minor thing about, it would be the breakfast, it felt quite budget compared to other high class hotels we have stayed in
