    The huge rat running in and out of a hole near the pool. One guest said the pool guy killed 2 mice earlier that day. When I told him about the big rat, he said it was hard to kill. I told the front desk and she just basically ignored it.

    I liked the location, but it’s a little dated. The lamp by the bed did not have a charger or any usb outlets.

    The large dining and reception area at the end of the pier was in a very poor state of repair and has apparently been condemned for safety reasons for some time (many years), despite being featured prominently in the aerial photo promotions of the location. In a sense, this was false advertising, as the original facilities would have been a lovely dining and event venue (open air and over the surf). Radisson is a big name and should invest in the upkeep of its properties, especially when specific features that would be a draw for clientele are depicted but are not maintained.

    All in all, it's a very nice spot, and the room met expectations. On-site dining was good but not included, so the bill added up quickly.

    Not much to do in the area. Liked the town of Hastings better. But we were able to take the local bus to get to where the action was. The worst part was that you should be able to book in Can funds over booking.com. Rather then paying when arriving. Ended up costing way too much for one night. I staying at a much nicer place my last day for $200 cheaper.

    The beds were very comfortable.

    The property is suffering from a tied looking hotel that requires a facelift. Although the staff are friendly and very accommodating. The restaurant and bar suffer from bad customer service when waiting for a table or drink.

    location of the hotel is excellent and wast to crowded for this time of year

    Unfortunately the breakfast was not included with the cost of the room, so that threw me off a bit....as I took it for granted that it was included with the room rates.

    The ambience is amazing.... got an ocean view room....was definitely worth it. The staff are very helpful and pleasant.... customer service is great. The food was excellent!

    The AC was too loud and did not work. I was hot in my room most of the time. Also, the phones in each room needs updating. Also, there should be a food option after 9 pm. I was hungry at 11 and had to wait it out.

    I loved the food and the perfect ocean view.

    I wasn’t planning to spend much time in the hotel so this didn’t bother me but some guests could be bothered by some of the electrical facilities. The room didn’t have much in terms of traditional ceiling or wall mounted lighting, so you have to walk into the room to turn on lamps (could potentially be awkward if already dark, though it didn’t bother me). And my room mate reported that some of the plug sockets weren’t working or were finicky so you may end up plugging things into a socket that wasn’t your first choice. The shower is extremely temperamental in terms of temperature. We had 3 rooms booked across 3 floors and everyone had the same issue (one eventually changed rooms and it worked better) With the heat we experienced a cold shower was generally the desired temperature but if you wanted to get to lukewarm or hotter it can be a change that leaves you shifting from shiver inducing to scalding in a matter of moments with no input. My actual biggest issue was around the hotels policy on bottled drinking water. As it’s so hot you’re obviously going to be trying to keep hydrated. The housekeeping team always put 2 bottles of water in the room (very much appreciated) I got told by multiple members of staff that all guests got complimentary bottled water during the stay, yet whenever I asked for any it was real pot luck, sometimes I was sent to the bar where I may or may not get charged for the water. And sometimes I was told to give my location and some would be brought over. I ended up spending a reasonable amount of time and money going to and forth between the hotel and local petrol stations to get more water.

    The location was absolutely fantastic, and the fact that the free Wi-Fi stretched onto the beach was a plus, makes it a lot easier to make your friends jealous in real time. We also had no difficulty ever getting sun-beds for 6 people wherever we wanted, always had space and privacy and out possessions felt safe, this is a minor point but I think it goes a long way. My booking didn’t include any food as I wanted to not spend all my time eating in one place, I did however have breakfast and dinner once and they were both surprising good for hotel food (scrambled egg in particular was possibly the best I’ve ever had!). A big bonus was that the pool was 24 hours, so if you get back late and want a cool down swim without having to contend with salt and sand it’s another great option. Also… the view! Absolutely outstanding if you get a sea view. A lot of the rooms come with a sea view as standard and you don’t need to pay extra for it, not sure how you confirm that at booking but I paid for a sea view and it was so worth it.
