"Stayed two nights and it cost £180 which wasn’t weren’t the money. Our room was at the front so was noisy from traffic and customers having drinks underneath our bedroom window. The bedroom was basic with a very small tv and the bathroom was not very good. The shower was slow and took a while to adjust the temperature to get it right because it came on to hot all the time. The nets on the window had mould on, light above the sink didn’t work, the toilet seat was loose. We didn’t get our room cleaned at all so no fresh towels/shampoo/coffee/ tea or milk and had to ask for more. The breakfast finished at 9.30 so felt rushed to get up early to get it. Other hotels serve until 10. Our evening meal was nice but it was served on a chopping board which was ridiculous as some of my food was falling on the table. Stupid idea to serve it that way, what’s wrong with a plate. Had to vacate the room by 10 where other hotels it’s 11. Wouldn’t go back again and far to expensive when it’s not worth it. Rooms: Not very good at all"

"Our family enjoys fine dining experiences and expect to pay more for good food, service and environment. So we were excited to come here after looking at the menu as the prices were set to what you would expect from a fine dining restaurant! When we arrived we were impressed with the environment but unfortunately that is where it all ended. Service was extremely slow even though there was only two other tables in the restaurant that were occupied! One table with 2 people and the other table with two adults and a child. We had 5 at our table. We ordered our drinks which took approximately 20 minutes to arrive and when we ordered our food that took over 30 minutes to arrive! Thankfully I asked for the starters to come out with the main course and I chose the hogs pudding scotch egg which in all fairness was nice but quite overpriced at £7.95. We also ordered the Rattler cider Glazed sausages which were basically tasteless chipolata's in a cheap apple sauce priced at £8.95! 3 of us had the seafood linguine which was described on the menu as mussels, cod and king prawns in a rich tomato sauce for £19.95. We all had 3 prawns, no cod, but the mussels were generous. The rich tomato sauce was definitely not rich! This dish for the quality in our opinion was easily over priced by at least £10! Then my wife had the chicken Caesar salad which they forgot about and we had to ask almost 10 minutes later so when it eventually cane the chicken was only just thawed which obviously was pre-cooked and then frozen and absolutely tasteless priced at £16.50 and lastly we had twin Finn jerk spiced chicken which can only be described as really not very nice priced at £17.95. We also had crispy squid and a few extra portions of chips on the side and these were just about cooked and were definitely a very cheap frozen variety! So the whole bill with the drinks was over £200 and it really wasn't worth that! When we complained at the till they gave us 10% off the bill which was a kind gesture but really I was looking for 50% for the quality! When we headed downstairs after we paid we noticed a couple of guests were ordering from a takeaway menus. As we have never been here before I asked reception if they have any menus and said anything that has got to be better than we had upstairs, even the reception staff Discreetly agreed by a nod of the head on a roll of the eyes and said no comment! It's a big shame because this restaurant totally lets down this amazing resort. Definitely asked for the takeaway menus !"

"We booked this restaurant for our anniversary and were looking forward to a quality dining experience. The food was excellent and we were able to enjoy all three courses thanks to the long gaps between each dish. The decor of the restaurant was more like a cafeteria than a fine dining establishment, and the view from our window table left something to be desired with missing panels. The restaurant is located within a hotel and spa, so the dress code was relaxed. Despite these minor drawbacks, we were there for the food and it did not disappoint."

"Even a thousand words will never describe the true state of affairs. You can write and write about this place... only positive things! But still, when you come and try their exquisite food, you 'll realize that the reviews were too modest! I have no idea what people who came here before were complaining about! The service is very good, prices reasonable for a tourist town, and the dishes are sensational! We dined there for 5 days of our stay... we came for different breakfasts every day, and sometimes for lunch! I love Mexican cuisine, and I didn 't think I 'd find Mexico in Newquay! The bouquet of flavors in every dish is incredibly developed, with original spices and those wonderful freshly squeezed juices! The food is truly top-notch, and we highly recommend it to everyone! Vegetarian options: For some of the dishes, you 've got a vegetarian option available. Wheelchair accessibility: No stairs. Access from sidewalk."
