Reviews
They have warm pools which is open till pretty late.
Perfect weekend staycation choice for lovely couples
Unfortunately we were disappointed with our room in the 'updated' tower. Which didn't seem very updated. Our king room with harbour and mountain view didn't even have a microwave. As well as the layout wasn't great with the desk placed infront of the window obstructing the great view.
The service was excellent, from the warm bell service welcome to how smoothly our special requests were handled, including a microwave, cutlery, extra towels, and access to the Peloton studio. The pool and gym had a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere. While the hotel restaurant and coffee bar are quite expensive, we came prepared with our own food and snacks. There are also plenty of fast-food and restaurant options within easy walking distance if you want to step out for a meal.
