It aaa over priced. The room was tiny, nes waa reasonably comfortable but the pillows were so flat and pointless. They needed changing. They were old. There was a constant smell of food/ cooking in the morning. The breakfast was basic. The bathroom was very basic. The shower was dribbling out water. It was generally a very uncomfortable stay

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Property had excellent sea views. Our room a deluxe double with sea views was only adequate. The toilet had not been cleaned properly and the flush was weak which meant we had to unplug it each time with a plunger. The room and entire hotel was tired and the bathroom in our room defintely requires a refit. The dining room in the evening lacked atmosphere and was cold. No heating was on in the communal areas. The restaurant at the sister Harbour Heights hotel was far superior and had more menu choices.

Haven Hotel

The location is the reason we stayed here. Right next to the beach where we could just chill. Room was comfortable and as expected. The building is dated The evening bar staff were distracted by their mobile phones & their service was appalling. Training needs to be given to make the customer experience better. We did eat an evening meal there-won’t so it again, food wasn’t great, too slow to receive the food (olives and bread took over 20mins to arrive). Charged us a 10% service charge which we weren’t aware of until after we’d paid….as service was poor I asked for it to be refunded. Breakfast staff were friendly very helpful and seemed to be happy to be there.

Shame it is not made clear that one part of the hotel does not have access by lift. Very inconvenient and difficult for elderly residents.

A little mid-week break

Just a few days away, lovely hotel on a fantastic location. Room was really nice and spacious, the only thing that let it down was the water pressure (or lack of) so having showers was pretty useless. Made use of the pools etc which were heated so even when the weather was not great, managed to get some swim time in. Would definitely go back.
