2nd time at the hotel, and have to admit, I'm a big fan of the hotel ! We stayed in an ocean view room on a dinner bed and breakfast plan, so we had dinner in the Brasserie, which was very good and a varied selection. Breakfast was very good and lots of it ! Ocean view rooms are a... More

Location is fantastic… perfect for a winter break. Room was quiet and bed very comfortable, food great, Fifteen is a must. Hotel was busy but staff remained calm and efficient. Does exactly what it says. More

Jamie Oliver's 15 is within very easy walking distance of the hotel. Car parking is available at the hotel and also at a car park near... More

We stayed between Christmas and the New Year. Very nice staff met us, room had sea views, with outside patio, and you can walk down to the beach. Pleasant cafe/bar relaxation area overlooking the beach. We went to Jamie Oliver in the evening, which was superb; not cheap, but you will enjoy it! The room itself was comfortable, with nice...

We stayed 3 nights on the Taste of the Bay package during the week leading up to Christmas. It was a very good stay. They have a big construction projection in process as they add a spa and pool. That blocked the views from the main bar/chillout area, but it was fine. There was no noise from the construction, and... More

Loads of space, lovely big bed & some gorgeous l'occitane toiletries. The staff were great and more than helpful.... More

This is a lovely hotel with the exception of the wooden flooring in the main part of the hotel. They were very creaky and you could hear every movement in and around your room. Much prefer the rooms in the ocean wing, didn't have any issues in that section of the hotel. The location is amazing. The lounge bar area... More

Have stayed here numerous times, Easter, summer and New Year breaks. Each one has been fantastic, the whole setting, rooms, staff, kids clubs and food is excellent and gives us just what we need for a few nights break. Can't wait to return again! More

My boyfriend and I stayed at the hotel for 3 nights and got an extraordinary deal with breakfast every morning, dinner in the hotel restuarant one night, dinner at Jamie Olivers Fifteen restuarant another night and lunch at the Beach Hut one afternoon. When making the reservation i was told that all the standard rooms were booked, but was offered... More
