This hotel was fantastic. From when we arrived, the staff were friendly and check in was very quick. We ate at The Carreg in the evening, and it was the best food I have had in a long time. The crispy asian beef starter was the best starter I’ve ever had, I would return just for this! The views of the ocean were beautiful too, and we could even see dolphins whilst we were eating. We sat in the bar following our evening meal, and the atmosphere in there was great. Much better than other hotel bars we’ve been to. There was a great selection of cocktails, and the outside fire pits were a great addition too! We were worried that there was a wedding on and we may feel like we were getting in the way, but this was not the case and the wedding felt very separate - except for the firework display which was a fantastic extra to our stay! The breakfast buffet was great too, again views of dolphins in the bay. The food was great, and I especially appreciated the two types of bacon to cater for everyone. We had Sunday lunch and even though this was extremely busy, this was really good and the food was delicious! I would recommend booking though as it was extremely busy. We had a spa morning including a full body hot stone massage. The spa was lovely and relaxing - there are no loungers (other than the hot loungers) so a couple of hours in the spa was long enough we felt. The massage was amazing, and the masseuse took all of my health conditions in to account and made the experience really relaxing. The only downside to our stay was the bedroom. We paid for the economy room so wasn’t expecting anything too special, but the room was very tired looking and the shower wasn’t great. There was also a step down from the bathroom to the bedroom which could be dangerous if you forget about it! The room definitely did not fit in with the rest of the hotel - this did not deter from the rest of the hotel though as we were only in there for a short amount of time; and the bed was very comfortable. We are already planning on coming back at the end of summer; but would spend extra to get the nicer room!
