What guests think

At The Point Hotel & Spa, travelers consistently praise the dramatic oceanfront setting and sweeping sea views, while many also highlight friendly, helpful staff; however, numerous reviews describe dated interiors that diminish overall comfort.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from acceptable to reports of damp smells and bathroom mold, and some guests encountered broken amenities such as an out-of-service elevator or an unavailable spa. Breakfast opinions are mixed, spanning outstanding spreads to limited selection and cold items, while a few guests felt the price did not match the hotel's condition. Expect stunning views with friendly service, but uneven upkeep and amenities.

Stay away if ure a couple vist. U must ASK for towels...... Lift is out of service. No licr liscense Place needs a serious makeover. Aircon not working. Must be a ☆☆ accomodation lodge. Breakfast...... ALWAYS LOW BUDGET. ALWAYS NO SCRAMBLE EGG AMD RAW WATERY BEACON. They close the kitchen for residents for their famous groups .. Indian travel groups their favorite source of income.... and very noisy till 00h00. Building needs serous update.

A localização é excelente, entretanto o hotel está muito mal cuidado, decadente, precisa de uma reforma urgente… menos mal que a cama, roupa de cama e o chuveiro eram bons… Resolvemos fazer uma massagem - a massagista Michaela foi ótima - entretanto o cheiro de mofo quase coloca tudo a perder.. O café da manhã nos pareceu descuidado, frios, cereais, pães colocadas de qq forma, frutas sem graça, café aguado… nos dias que ficamos lá optamos por expresso - pago a parte - e torradas - só havia pão de forma… Além disto a entrada e saída - na alta temporada - eram complicadas devido aos enormes campings no entorno do hotel.. O staff era simpático mas só isto não garante uma boa experiência

The reason to book this hotel is the view and location. It is great to look over the rock pool swimming area from our balcony. The hotel rooms have very basic furniture, not well maintained. Not furniture on the balcony- people just take an inside chair outside. We did feel safe here and car park is a public car park just outside the hotel . Our car was fine there and easy access as just across the road . This is not a fancy hotel but for one night in a location by the beach / rock pools you can’t ask for a better location for the price point .

This hotel is in a disgusting state. I would rather stay in a Formula 1 than stay at this hotel again. Really disappointing that the owners allow paying customers to be lured by the location which is great! But the hotel is disgusting

Absolutely would not recommend this hotel. The bathroom was a nightmare—mould creeping across every surface, a shower so grimy it looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks, and a toilet that was downright disgusting upon arrival. It felt like hygiene was an afterthought here. Hands down one of the worst places I’ve ever stayed. The only redeeming quality? A decent view—but even that couldn’t distract from the filth and neglect.

This property is exceptionally well positioned but requires a lot more maintenance and staff training. I hope the owner takes a vested interest in a face lift in the hotels interior and the way in which it is presented to tourists. This could be an amazing hotel, but sadly it is becoming more of a motel experience.
