Stayed at the Rainbow International for four nights/five days last week on a National Holidays trip. Our room had a double and a single bed, and was adequate, even though an update would be nice, as it was a little old-fashioned. The food was excellent - breakfast and dinner - hot and tasty with plenty of choice. All the staff... More

Dirty carpets, cleaning staff who hadn't discovered hoover tools - there was an inch-wide grey margin to the edge of the carpet in my room where it hadn't been hoovered. A discarded hairclip sat in it for the two days of my stay. In the dining room staff actually started hoovering whilst we were dining! Curt staff in restaurant. Supposed... More

...there is a lot going for it. Good location, lovely polite staff, buffet meals and breakfast good, free car parking but (as we were fairly late bookers) room a bit 80's in decor (but clean) Entertainment on a 'Motown weekend' improved as weekend went on and Sunday night singer excellent (had sung with Drifters) Overall pretty good

We stayed for a 3-night week-end and had a good group deal (2 coaches). It was therefore very good value for money. The evening meal was buffet-style and very good. Our room was a reasonable size and the staff were very pleasant. If you are planning to swim be aware that the pool is small.
