The breakfast is typically fantastic with plenty of choices, while dinner in the Palm Court is highly recommended.

My room was a standard room without a sea view. The room was well maintained and comfortable. Dinner was lovely (i really enjoyed it!), with the kitchen doing a great job in producing something attractive and delicious. The buffet breakfast was excellent and offered a wide range of options.
I thought the hotel itself seemed a little tired. There was tape covering rips in the carpet as you walk in. I saw broken light fixings and so on. The sunday lunch wasn't great. There were flies on the salad and desserts, so I skipped those altogether.
