Hotel nice but very tired, not good value for money in the condition it is in On our first day of arrival, we had an issue with safe not working and the telephone lead was broken, after several times of reporting this, no repairs were carried out

4/10

It aaa over priced. The room was tiny, nes waa reasonably comfortable but the pillows were so flat and pointless. They needed changing. They were old. There was a constant smell of food/ cooking in the morning. The breakfast was basic. The bathroom was very basic. The shower was dribbling out water. It was generally a very uncomfortable stay

6/10

Property had excellent sea views. Our room a deluxe double with sea views was only adequate. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the flush was weak which meant we had to unplug it each time with a plunger. The room and entire hotel was tired and the bathroom in our room defintely requires a refit. The dining room in the evening lacked atmosphere and was cold. No heating was on in the communal areas. The restaurant at the sister Harbour Heights hotel was far superior and had more menu choices.

We booked room a year in advance for Sandpolo. We get there hour early(about 2 pm ish), so get told room not ready yet, said to us have to wait for room to be ready at 3 pm. (My mum and my sister already got their room and they get there about 1 pm!) So it’s fine, we went to bar to have drink waiting for room at 3 pm. Went to check at 3 pm and get told room still not ready! Will be another half hour! And we not happy about it as already told them we need to go to Sandpolo by 4 pm! We need to shower and get change etc. reception told us that we can go to get ready at Spa changing room and nothing she can do about it!!! Seriously we paid nearly £300 per room and she want y us to go shower and get ready for Sandpolo in changing room!! We are really disappointed so much. As hotel us not cheap hotel, but service is very low level! By 3.15 pm, reception still said nothing else she can do! She will asked if cleaner can get room done in 5 min!! ( which is should be like that before 3 pm check in!) So we get room about 3.20 pm! Oh she did offer refund 20% to us but we not ok with that. We need our room to be ready by time!Walked in to room 113, all we smell is worse cleaner armpits!! I know they rushing to clean room but those smell should never let customers experience when stay!! It was really bad and both feel sick in toilet !! Our room had only 2 small top window that can open! So have to hurry get change and leave room! End up with we got no time to shower and get ready proper
