“What a Treat !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 January 2012

Due to work commitments we did not have the chance to celebrate our elder son's 21st last year so this was a 22nd birthday celebration. From the minute we stepped out of the car we were all made to feel so welcome. Piper and complimentary drink on arrival were much appreciated. The rooms were very very comfortable and the location of hotel fabulous-town within an easy stroll. We dined in the Sands Grill in the evening and had difficulty choosing from the super choice on the menu. Food and service was1st class even on a busy Saturday night. Son no 2 opted for a burger which he declared was the best he had ever tasted. It certainly looked amazing. In the morning we had breakfast in the Road Hole Restaurant with superb views over the West Sands. Again the food was amazing with a wide range of options -in fact everything you could possibly think of. We did not need to eat for the rest of the day !
It was all the little touches that made this visit special. Son no2 delighted to find a junior sized bathrobe laid out on his bed and the beautiful orchid in the room was real ! Pool and Spa area one of best we have ever used. The outdoor hot tub is not to be missed.OK this hotel is not a cheap option but it is worth it and at no time were you made to feel anything other than very welcome.

“Fabulous hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend the hotel to others. From the entrance welcomers to reception, to the staff in the restaurants, everyone is so friendly and helpful. the rooms are gorgeous, the beds a dream, and the spa is wonderful. Breakfast is delicious- the view over the West Sands and Old Course is lovely. Highly recommended.

“Beautiful hotel in outstanding location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

This is an expensive hotel but provides value for money. Everything is high quality - the food, the surroundings and the service. The pool/spa area is beautiful and the view from the restaurant and rooms on the front of the hotel are spectacular.
Would love to go back.

“Sensational”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

It`s not cheap but its probably one of the best hotels in the world. Food is amazing and in fairness not really as expensive one might think. My wife used the spa facilities which were superb. it may not be a regular break unless you are very wealthy but once in a while is just right.Don`t forget to visit the little pub round the corner "The Jigger" that looks toward the the town small and very cosy.

Room Tip: All good as far as I am aware

“excellent night away”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

just back from an overnight stay , and I can honestly say this is one of the nicest hotels that gives you 5 star treatment and value for money. The hotel itself is beautiful, and the rooms (we stayed in the cheaper ones) are really really lovely. From the moment you arrive..its a very nice experience..the staff are warm and friendly, and cannot do enough for you..we were offered a glass of sparkling wine on arrival, then shown around the hotel, and taken to our room.
Our was just an overnight stay, but would have loved a few days there just to soak up the atmosphere..because this is what I think this hotel has..and lots of it..I certainly think that of many of the 5 star hotels I have stayed this has to be one of the better.I cannot praise the staff highly enough,in all departments..and hope to return in the not too distant future
