Reviews and Ratings
Feedback about The Waterside Hotel & Spa from previous guests about their experience.
the room deco was really nice. the bathroom was fine. i found the views from the room gorgeous.
i found the food expensive, also the drinks. it seemed like they had a monopoly due to not much around the area. the food in the restaurant was not excellent, it seemed more heated up than cooked.

The beautiful double room sea view was spacious. it had a great view. i had a nice meal in the restaurant. The cooked breakfast was excellent! the hotel location is great, it's very well decorated too.
the pillows were too big and hard, so i didn't get a comfortable sleep as there were no alternatives provided.
