Lovely property with great dining options, fantastic views, and friendly staff. Unfortunately we had a foul smell in our room which put a damper on the visit. Otherwise it was faultless.

The pool/bar/restaurant area was really welcoming and comfortable. Having it central tocthe property makes it easy to access and very inviting. The views were just gorgeous, and the ability to order food and drink from your beach chair was fantastic. The staff were always lovely and accommodating. I never had to look for someone, they were always there at reception with a smile on their face.

As an Expedia silver member I’ve wanted to try bannisters for a while so thought I would use some points towards the stay. While the pool is lovely, the room was really underwhelming. The shower had a stained shower curtain, you can hear the people next to you and above you at all times and the room didn’t seem like it had been deep cleaned for quite some time. Thinking that maybe we were put in this room because we didn’t book direct. There is parking but if you are older or not very mobile you may struggle. The room service menu is very limited, there is no gym and for the price I expected much more.
