Great hotel - make sure you pre-book parking!
My daughters and I stayed in early Aug.
The hotel is very nice, the rooms are comfortable and the indoor pool is lovely.
You’re opposite Fistral Beach, the surf hire shop next door is ideal.
Parking is not great, make sure you pre-book or you’re in trouble!
The food at Breakfast is Ok but nothing special.
The staff were excellent, very helpful, friendly and accommodating. We’d definitely go back, but only if the parking was pre-booked.

Great location and hotel
Stayed here a few times - always brilliant. On this occasion food service was very slow (1hr from ordering to arriving) even though the restaurant wasn't busy. Great place, great hotel, lovely pool and friendly staff.

Lack of parking for blue badge holders
Not disability friendly no priority parking for blue badge holders rang beforehand to book a parking spot was told I couldn’t
Although staff did eventually find a parking spot I found the parking experience distressing
There was a parking space for disabled not in a suitable place as it blocked the entrance and space was limited
I did complain to hotel but there was no commitment to improving things

Beautiful hotel, needs air conditioning
Hotel was beautiful and clean. All the staff where very friendly, food was great with a great view of the beach. Only down side was the temperature of the room, we had a none sea view room (119) and it was really hot in the middle of the night. We had the door and window wide open with a fan on, both my kids where very sweaty and I had to get up twice to go stand outside in the middle of the night.

Family half term
We had a lovely time. It was our second time staying at the hotel. We love how close it is to the beach. Our son (6) lived the pool and the cinema.
Our room could have been bigger, not enough room for our clothes and wet beach towels to dry.
The cove restaurant is very pricey for avarge food options.
Staff is very friendly.

Room for improvement
Not as good as our first trip.
Bolts were loose in kids bunk beds. Shower needed repair.
Staff were helpfull to resolve, but both issues should not have happened.
2 meals were very good, but the steak was poorly done, asked for medium and got rare.
Location is great though, and facilities are good overall.
We may return for a 3rd mini break, unsure
