Scarlet Hotel

This was our 3rd time at this wonderful hotel. When we last visited 3 years ago, the food had been disappointing compared to our first visit! Apparently there’s a relatively new chef. He/she is doing a fantastic job. We had the taster menu on our first night (our anniversary) and it was wonderful. My husband didn’t like the cuttlefish bolognaise but that was just his own personal choice - I loved it as well as all the other dishes. The gazpacho was probably our favourite, it was divine! The second night of our stay we had the standard menu and chose the Cote de boeuf & it was so good, as was the salad & fries to accompany it. We used the indoor pool and the cliff top hot tub during our stay & both were great. We chose a “just right” room which was perfect with fantastic views of the bay. There is a new (huge) property being built right next to the hotel. We didn’t have any noise impact during our stay but it has blocked out some of the view of the bay. We did notice that despite the hotel’s premium pricing, that a few areas of the property were looking a “little tired” - I’m not sure if any maintenance work is imminent but it does need it in areas. The staff were fabulous as always. Housekeeping were on point - our room was always spotless & the turn-down service is always a lovely touch. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash all provided, as is a powerful hairdryer. It’s a very relaxing place to spend a few days & despite the disappointing weather when we were there, we had a lovely stay.

Amazing hotel, with spectacular views. The perfect place for a relaxing break. Wonderful staff, who are very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast and dinner in the restaurant is a must, with many delicious choices.

Setting, service and food were completely flawless. The rooms are very comfy and very well appointed. What really makes The Scarlet is the service, all the staff are really friendly but also very professional and quick.

Don't even hesitate. It will be perfect from the moment you walk through the door and you won't want to leave

A perfect location for a quiet relaxing break. Lovely views, really friendly and well equipped spa and facilities. Restaurant is easily the highlight of the hotel with super service and staff (not at all stuffy, but great attention to detail all the same) and creative, healthy and perfectly portioned dishes.

Relax, and let the sea, the staff and the hotel gently take care of you... You won't regret it. Let yourself feel welcome, keep things simple, and soak in the waves and the tides. Wander about, sit with a book, chill out in your room or one of the lounge spaces or outside...
