My stay at the hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the breakfast was quite good and the bathroom was large and comfortable. On the other hand, the lack of privacy due to the bathroom design and the unexpected room changes made things uncomfortable. The hotel lacked many basic amenities, and it felt more like a budget option than a boutique experience.

Rooms

6.0

The room was comfortable but definitely not a suite as advertised, with a view overlooking the parking lot and a lack of privacy in the bathroom.

Service

5.0

The service was lacking; I had trouble receiving assistance when needed, especially regarding the hot water issue that took too long to resolve.

The hotel had some facilities, but the lack of a bar or dining room was disappointing.

5.0/10

My experience at this hotel was quite disappointing. Although the initial promise of wheelchair accessibility and a pleasant stay attracted me, the reality was vastly different. The lack of true accessibility features and poor customer service were significant downsides, overshadowing any positives. I would hesitate to recommend this hotel based on my experience.

Rooms

5.0

The room I stayed in was poorly maintained, with old furniture and several broken amenities such as a hairdryer and a kettle. The cleanliness was also lacking, with holes in the towels and even a mouse present.

Service

5.0

Service was quite unfriendly and chaotic. I faced unreasonable demands about payments upon check-in and experienced rude behavior from the manager, adding to the stress of the situation.

My stay at Fairways Hotel was quite challenging. While the location is ideal for beach lovers, the room accessibility issues were overwhelming. The renovation work was bothersome, and the atmosphere felt chaotic and disorganized. Although I did encounter one kind builder who helped us, the overall impression of management and the state of the facilities was far from satisfactory.

Rooms

5.0

The room we were given was old and poorly maintained, with some amenities broken or unusable. It did not match the pictures online and definitely not worth the price.

Service

5.0

While our initial interaction was chaotic and negative, we finally managed to get assistance from a builder. However, overall service was lacking, and there seemed to be a significant shortage of staff.

Location

The proximity to the beach is definitely a strong point for Fairways Hotel, as well as being near shops and restaurants.

I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff greeted us with such warmth, and I loved the beautiful decor in the rooms and bathrooms. The jacuzzi was a nice touch, but my experience soured a bit when I had issues with the room arrangements and the service was lacking at night. Overall, it was a lovely experience despite a few hiccups.

Rooms

The rooms were beautifully decorated, and the bathrooms were especially nice with great attention to detail. The cupboard space was adequate, providing plenty of room for our belongings.

Service

The staff was friendly and accommodating at first, but there were communication issues, especially during the late hours when I couldn't reach anyone for help.

Location

The hotel is conveniently located close to the beach, which is a huge plus for those wanting to enjoy the seaside.

Facilities like the jacuzzi added to the relaxing experience, though I wish there had been better noise control late at night.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the location was misleading as it wasn't as close to the beach as I had hoped. The room was beautiful and well-appointed, but I struggled with the TV. Overall, I enjoyed the ambiance but found some aspects lacking.
