    The breakfast could be modernised to include vegan options and the coffee could definitely do with some help. The service was also slow in the restaurant... there are some bits of the hotel that need decorating and revamping but all in all it was good.

    The sea view room we took had a lovely view of the pool and sea. The downstairs was very nice and staff were friendly. Swimming in the outdoor pool was a treat. I had read a lot of bad reviews so was quite worried about staying but it was actually great!

    How warm the room got at night and the noise but not a lot to be done about that. It didn't ruin the stay.

    The view was amazing and the staff were lovely. I really loved the quirky side to the way the breakfast room was decorated.

    The shower was v difficult to adjust the temperature (too hot) and the mattress was a bit lumpy.

    Beautiful quiet location and a grand hotel indeed. The housekeepers did a great job. Breakfast was lovely. We enjoyed the piano music in the big bar area which had panoramic sea views. We loved the indoor and outdoor pools and I used the gym. Loved it!

    First room we were put in was tiny dark and over looking dirty parts of the building was moved to a better room but the hotel itself needs a bit of an up lift lobby and bar/lounge area is really nice but corridors and rooms are very worn and painted in bright colours that doesn’t match the rest of the hotel.

    The grand hotel is a lovely hotel in the lounge and lobby but feel the rooms upstairs and areas were a little tired this was the same with the inside pool

    Sadly real issues with cleanliness, swimming pool & dressing rooms need a lot of attention black grout & scummy, our bedroom had real issues with stained carpets a member of staff shampooed carpet for us no attention to detail . The lobby and rooms off it were very clean. But it's very dated I would check my room and ask for upgrade.

    Location was brilliant & the staff were very attentive breakfast was really good , for this reason we would go back
