Tiny rooms but beautiful hotel
It’s a beautiful old hotel, staff were great and breakfast was lovely however the bed we were in was NOT a standard double- more three quarter and with us in it, it made for an uncomfortable night on my part (literally clinging to the edge of the bed). Room was very small and the bathroom very clean but tiny - yet again it was difficult to manoeuvre. Wouldn’t book again but just our preference to have more space.

The Hotel had a wonderful pool and Jaccuzi. You book in advance which was lovely because we had the entire facility to ourselves! The location is perfect - 15/ 20 mins to main strip and beach via various routes but very hilly and steep. The staff were great, and we enjoyed breakfast - they were amazing with my allergy!! I have a severe nut and peanut allergy and the staff were great. The room itself was comfortable and large, with TV, hair dryer and HUGE bed! The facilities were old, and there was no iron. The shower room was very outdated and the shower wasn't great. We booked a room with no view which we regret because we had a blurred window (for privacy) over looked by properties. The walls are thin so often woken up by people above or in corridors. WIFI WAS RUBBISH - I had an important meeting which I had to leave as Internet kept cutting out. Overall it was a wonderful stay and we will be back due to great pool facilties and location. (Will book a sea view room next time). Lovely staff for both families and couples!

Hotel in a great position with lovely sea views, good amenities and looks to have had a bit of a makeover since previous reports of it being dated. The downsides were that the bedroom was way too warm with a big hot pipe running up through it and a heated towel radiator which we were able to switch off. Double bed felt quite small when you’re used to sharing a king sized bed and the temperature made it hard to sleep properly. Woke up with a very stuffy head. Also bathroom door very difficult to open from the inside and had to call my partner to open from the outside. This needs dealing with as if someone is in the room Alone they could potentially get locked in.

My friend and I fancied a night away and when we arrived at the Red Lea we were given a very warm welcome. We were given our room key and told about dinner, breakfast and the pool and spa facilities. We were also advised that nearby restaurants could be recommended if we told them what sort of food we were after.
