The outside of the hotel was gorgeous, I even got confused if we were in the right place 😂. But the inside was wonderful, reminded me of the Titanic. The hotel has an indoor pool, spa, sauna, jacuzzi and a gym. The double room we got was spacious and we loved the toilet. And the staff was really helpful.

Although the room was adequate , for me disappointing for the sum l paid , which was £225 a night . Although yes, there was a sea view , but totally spoilt ,by the dirty rooftops. Additionally we found the shower scalding hot and very difficult to adjust to a sensible temperature.

Absolutely loved the hotel experience & massage treatment. We could not fault it. Hotel staff were polite, professional & helpful. The one & only thing that was disappointing was the neglected condition of the swimming pool & jacuzzi facilities. Unfortunately the standards of this let down the high standards of the hotel & massage therapy facilities. Would definitely recommend the hotel to anyone & would stay again.

I felt the property looked very tired and dated. The pool area and jacuzzi were very tatty. The room was nice but there was an old sock in the wardrobe which if cleaned properly someone would have seen it. The bathroom was amazing. Staff were lovely all over the hotel and we were very pleased with the extra vegan options offered for our meal and the birthday treat for my daughter after dinner. That was a lovely touch.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful and room was nice and big with a very comfy bed and pillows. Hotel is in a great spot - right in the beach, a 10 minute walk into the lovely Hythe village and only a 10 minute drive into Folkestone. Breakfast options were pretty limited but what was provide was very nice. Our only negative would be in the spa and pool area. The treatment rooms are very noisy so not relaxing at all as you can clearly hear other people taking and even the water running in other rooms. The pool and facilities are in need of an upgrade - the sauna is pretty small 4 people felt like a squeeze.
