After a gap of 3 years,we went back expecting as good or better.The new refurbished rooms (we had 275) were excellent and the bed and linen most comfortable,the view also considerably enhanced over large expanses of lawns and beautifully trimmed hedges with the sea in the distance Also worth viewing was a large 50m. Lily Pond with scarlet flowers in the morning and evening.BETTER
Another pool has been added and the area is most attractive with lawns to the sea and a mass of mature trees to give needed shade(Casuarina mostly)BETTER
Poolside beds are covered with very thin mattresses,and you are uncomfortable after little over an hour.NOT GOOD
Poolside eating had a very small and unimaginative menu; the gaspacho was the best item,
other choices were just plain boring. Drinks VERY expensive. NOT GOOD,
and while we were there a very large party of Italian Business Men were having a conference and spoiled the clean air with cigar smoke through the whole of our second afternoon. Two even smoked IN the pool! we should have been warned and we would have booked other dates. NOT GOOD
We agree with previous poster about Malati Curry, it was definately the worst "Indian" food ever although the poppadums were O.K.
Geckos was average but we had a nice meal at The Mangosteen, where the buffet breakfast also resides; bread very good,croissants below 5 star,fruit selection poor,no mango,no mangosteen,no passion fruit, and the Clementines were dry and past their sell by date.but the juice was sweet .
Nice touch is the Honey comb and the honey is delicious.
On previous visits there was an excellent nightly buffet,and food quality was superb.but now
NOT SO GOOD overall.
One item I left to last,another poster has mentioned it. No WIFI in rooms and exorbitant charge for internet alternative.WE travel extensively in Europe and for the last year have always found FREE WIFI even in small Logis in France.
There is no excuse for this Mr Sheraton
Would we go back? Yes,it was a relaxing break and the weather was perfect,but a few improvements would also make the hotel perfect.
