    Ver noisy hearing the people upstairs, really loud! In the future we’d only book if there was a room available on the top floor.

    Food was very good and we love the views from the bar.

    super young family orientated. having the restaurant right by the kids area which was open even during breakfast made it super loud with kids running everywhere. I would suggest they close the kids play area for at least breakfast so others can enjoy a peaceful breaky.

    the staff were outstanding. every single one of them super friendly. service in restaurant was second to none.

    Staff were useless. Made requests and not one was fulfilled. I asked for rose petals to which they confirmed. But there was none as I walked into the room so the surprise was ruined. Also ended up having to pay for breakfast twice, they tried to kick us out our room an hour and a half early leading me and my girlfriend rushing to leave instead of enjoying our last few moments on holiday.

    Rooms were good size, good value for money. Very clean establishment and the facilities are amazing. Really enjoyed the sauna and jacuzzi.

    We didn’t get an opportunity to eat in the restaurant because there was an hour wait for food! Although the beds were comfy we had to sleep with the tv on to drown out the noise of the creaky floor above our room, the people above us walked around all night, it was constant!!!

    Staff were lovely, the hotel was clean and the facilities were fantastic, hotel is in a great location.

    the room was clean but the bed was uncomfortable, the room was noisy from children running screaming up corridor and doors slamming. we did go to room to rest before our evening meal but we couldn’t as the noise and also with doors banging and noise just vibrated through floor. the headrest to bed was at the wrong side of room as this was against the corridor side. The swimming pool was also not relaxing as kids screaming and shouting in pool and kids using hot tub so it made it hard to use. we understand that it is a family hotel but I think there could of been things put in place for couple and families. I.e different levels for families and couples. swimming pool monitored by staff. I think because the hotel was a lovely clean standard we accepted it, also when we did complain to the receptionist who had her badge a supervisor her attitude was well the kids go to bed soon. she wasn’t apologetic and also made me feel like I was against children when this is not the chase as I have a child. I just felt we could of had more of a better custom service answer or maybe asked if we wanted to change rooms but we did not have that offer. I said I didn’t want to be woken up early. to which we did by children running and banging doors at 7am.

    the property was lovely clean and presented to a high standard

    All hotel doors need soft close mechanisms on them as they slam and wake you up all night long. If these were installed, guests would be alot happier. Walls are very thin and could hear guests in the next room speaking, plus hear their tv. Guests also not quiet late at night when walking the corridors at night, some with loud children, and then children also allowed to play in corridors early in the mornings running up and down. The hotel need to rectify these issues, having had the same issues during 2 stays, we would not try a 3rd stay.

    Staff were friendly. Close to beach, free on street parking.

    The bar guy with the mullet was a bit patronising I didn’t like him. I ordered two kids meal “chicken but got fish” it didn’t really matter kids eat it. Buy wasn't what we ordered. No salt or pepper brought to room with the meals. Apart from that I was completely happy.

    Breakfast was really good. Personally I would have preferred my muffin toasted on the eggs Benedict.

    The shower was hot but not overly powerful. I didn’t include breakfast and it was £25pp to add it on which I thought was expensive. Only has one small lift to reception & the buttons barely work.

    The room was lovely, beautiful view of Fistral beach. staff were very accommodating. Room had tea/coffee & biscuits plus luxurious hand soap, hand cream, body wash, shampoo & conditioner. Room was lovely and warm as well. Also had a mini fridge which was useful.
