    Beds were a little hard and the prices in the bar/restaurant were quite high.

    Beautifully decorated, gorgeous views and great facilities.

    Some of the staff are poorly trained in my opinion. Three of the bar staff did not seen to know what the correct measure for a Baileys is and there was a general lack of helpfulness at times. Some of the staff were great.

    The hotel is very well presented, modern and in very good condition. The position is stunning, on the side of Fistral beach. Away from the town but only a short walk across the beach to the main Fistral bar and restaurant area.The views were amazing and we will miss them, I'm sure. The facilities are excellent, the pool area is in fantastic condition and everything works well.

    The room was a little damp, so wet clothes and towels took a long time to dry out.

    We were traveling with 3 kids, so we appreciated the family room setup with bunk beds so we could all stay together in one room. The kids loved their special hot chocolate tray! The pool was great, and we also enjoyed the silent disco while we were visiting. The warm croissants and pan au chocolate at breakfast were particularly appealing to my kids, and the play areas in the dining area were nice to relax as adults while the kids were busy. The hotel is very close to Fistral beach and the rock pools, but we could still walk to the downtown area for dining and shopping. There is a playground near the golf course that my kids also loved.

    Across from Fistral beach and no fewer than 3 surf schools, Rick stein’s at Fistral, and other restaurants. Lovely walk to the headland on either side of the curved bay. Free on road parking. Great amenities- soft play area open to dining room so kids could be minded while adults relaxed with a drink or over coffee at breakfast. Cute indoor pool, with hot tub and sauna. Cinema playing kids’ favourites. Bar open late. Could have not left the hotel at all and still had a fab time.

    Nothing really, i dont remember seeing a lift would have helped with bags,

    Hotel is right on the beach, plenty of parking outside of property but could imagine in peak times reserving a spot would be better, hotel amenities were great, nice restaurants, cocktail bar with entertainment, pool, sauna all great

    Too many small flights of stairs - making lifts redundant.

    Clean and fresh, nice nods to the sea, nice pool (when not busy), great sea views from the lounge, surf store, nice and generous bathroom toiletries, friendly and helpful staff.

    The room we were in was quite small, without any sort of view. We had to pay a lot extra to have a sea view room, which is a shame but to be expected I suppose. The food in the restaurant is quite expensive which when already spending a bit more on a nice hotel, was a bit of hardship.

    A lot of lovely little touches to make our stay comfortable - cookies and milk at bedtime (at reception desk), lots of entertainment for little ones (soft play, big games, outside play, indoor cinema). The staff were all lovely and attentive.

    There was only one downside, floors in the bedrooms are cracking way too much! In the mornings we were woken up by people staying above us because the floors make big noise.

    Great food. Great location. Friendly staff. Overall nice hotel to stay in.
