The energy is wonderful, and the staff are attentive, kind, and always smiling.
A special thank you to Vanessa, Mary & Noemi for making this Sunday so special.
The menu was simple and fresh… thank you, thank you, thank you!
I will return every time I can, and I highly recommend visiting this hidden jewel in the most beautiful bay of Jersey… it will amaze you just as it amazed me. 🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️
Staff are very polite and helpful.
Rooms are a bit dated but pleasant.
There are quite a few issues and it’s a shame as this hotel could be amazing (note to owners/management).
1) Breakfast - bearing in mind it’s not a cheap breakfast, I ordered pancakes and they were those doughy, dry toaster ones from the supermarket. Poached eggs were overdone on day one and barely cooked and translucent on day two.
2) The heat - anything above 23 degrees and the rooms facing the sun are baking hot with just a small solitary fan. They need full size fans as a minimum but ideally AC as otherwise it’s not viable in high summer.
3) Maintenance - strong drain smell by the bar and on our first evening we left the bathroom window open due to the heat and awoke to an if infestation of drain flies. The plumbing needs addressing I would expect.
I doubt I’d return here unless I hear about proper investment in refurbishment and a better breakfast. It’s such as shame as the location is fantastic and the staff do their best.
The terrace overlooking the beach outstanding. Such a relaxing place to unwind. The Steps down to the beach are not for the faint hearted.
The meals are cooked to a great standard with breakfast cooked to order. Experiencing drinks on the terrace was wonderful. Don’t get me started on the terrace. What a view. It enables you to sit relax and enjoy the bay.
Finally from our perspective it was a faultless experience.
