The location of this hotel is both spectacular and dramatic. We booked the sea view superior room. We were allocated room 147. What a room, if it’s not the best in the hotel I would like to see what is. Amazing wrap around views of the coast and a copper tub in the corner of the room to admire them from. Outstanding.! Everything about this hotel was wonderful and would normally be a 5* review. The only let down was our room service experience, food order delivered barely warm at best, and incomplete. The waiter was miserable and clumsy. He would benefit from further training, and bringing up to the same standards of customer service as his colleagues. Great hotel, and location. Looking forward to returning soon.
