CAMC Gowerton Campsite
We stayed here for 4 nights in October 2024, and really enjoyed it, despite the weather. We had torrential rain every other day, and sunshine every other day. We had the delivered takeaway twice. They will take orders every day, and take about 30 minutes to deliver it. We want to return, but earlier in the year next time, and for longer. Zeta will definitely want to return for more treats.

We stayed here for 4 nights at the beginning of October 2024. It was very quiet at that time, apart from the Army, and we enjoyed it. Having 2 amenity blocks was good. The walks in the woods would have been better with good weather, but you can't guarantee that at any time of year. The food van charged £7 for the glorified sandwich, and £5 for the hot dog. We didn't bother with it.

We stayed in a King room at The Goodwood Hotel, Chichester for 2 nights. The room was lovely and big, as was the en-suite with plenty of hot water. The only complaint was the position of the power points, and no USB points. The hotel itself was difficult to find and it was a warren. We got lost a few times trying to find our way around. We were there for a function and the prices in the bar for...

      The hotel was nice, the rooms fantastic and the staff were great, but it wasn't for us. We are in our mid seventies and we like to have food that is not too spicy, although there were some items that were not spicy. The drinks menu is very limited, and we had hoped for some liquers to choose from. The a la carte restaurant was disappointing as the menu didn't change at all. We felt that had this hotel been listed with a lower star rating, it would have been great. Please don't let our opinion alone affect your decision, everyone has different expectations as well as wants. Have a lovely holiday.

      @lesleyanddudley 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We made 3 complaints, but they didn't do anything until I took the video. There were 2 cabins involved for our party, ours and our son's next door, so there was no offer of a move and no refund. I asked for a refund of the difference in cost between our balcony cabin and an ocean view cabin, as we felt that was what we had, but that request was ignored. The only compensation we were offered was on board spending money, which we felt we had to accept. By this time we only had 1 evening and 1 full day, which was the last day before disembarkation and it was at sea, in which to spend it. This felt like it had cost them nothing, but our cruise was totally ruined. There was nothing done about the swimming pool; it was not closed, it was not supervised, there were no notices put up. I had booked a cruise on Arvia, Iona's sister ship, but we have now cancelled that.

      Sorry to hear of your loss. Cruising is one of the holidays that can still be enjoyable as a single person. We booked select as we like to know which cabin we are going to get. We chose a cabin at the stern as we thought the views would be amazing in Norway, which they were. The only video I saw before we booked was from someone who said that they got the occasional splash from the pool above, which I thought wouldn't be too bad. I did not think that there would be some really rotten people who thought it would be great fun to spoil other peoples cruise.

They couldn't use their balcony either as the water went over most of theirs as well, although they did have a little bit of an overhang from the balcony above them so one chair stayed dry.

      We have sailed with P&O a few times, and have more cruises already booked with them. This is the only time that we have been below an infinity pool, so it has never happened before. I have not heard anything from P&O concerning this problem since we got home. To be fair, this was not the fault of P&O, except for the designer not thinking about rotten teenagers and young adults reckoning it would be fun to try and drench the balconies. We saw some adults looking over from the side of the pool, whom we assumed were the parents, but they were doing nothing to stop it. This pool is unsupervised permanently by the crew, just a walk by now and then. The water stopped coming over for short periods during the day, so we surmised that this was when a member of the crew was near the pool. We have decided to never go on a cruise on board Iona again.

After we had put our suitcases out the night before disembarking, we checked everywhere to make sure we hadn't forgotten anything, and noticed the cabin steward had place the items for the following guests in one of the drawers, including the bottle of wine. We left it there, obviously, but I wonder how many take it, then find they have a bill for it added to the card they registered when boarding.

This was only after we had complained 3 times, as well as showing them the video I had taken. By then we only had 1 day and a few hours in which to spend it. I did hear that this was also after the hotel manager had gone to one of the other cabins to talk about it, stepped out onto the balcony and got soaked.

      As we were away for only 4 nights, we didn't mind it too much. Some people always pick inside cabins because they say you only sleep and get changed in your cabin, and you can't see the size when your eyes are closed. It also gives them more money to spend with the lower price for the cabin. With us, on longer cruises we have gone for a sea view, which is the same size but has natural light coming in, or a balcony.

    How can you be so bitter... Enjoy life! It's such a beautiful place, why are you looking for the hair in the soup?

      I am not being bitter. I am just saying how I found it when I was there.

    Not very helpful review. We have stayed here a few times and the hotel is lovely friendly and amazing. The socket which isn't a power point is a shaver point in the room. The doors do close and can be fixed if reported. The rooms have heating and ac all year round. The hotel is warm in May and August. The chairs and sofas are comfortable. The safe and mini bar are only with all inclusive. The areas outside are for half board guests and places to eat and drink. The snack bar is inside the main hotel not shown. The rooms are amazing well kept and if you report stuff it gets fixed. They are big enough and easy to use even for a big person. Even being in a chair you can get around the hotel just fine with no problems. The rooms also have kettles in them. The two hotels are not being knocked down. They were built in the 70's and have age but with class. We have stayed in Hilton hotel with digital key but there is nothing wrong with having a room key. The reason they have not been updated is because of the mainland government won't let them due to the area being protected. The hotel want to update both and have just been allowed to update the sister hotel. This one has new beds and more of them. The drinks are good. They don't have list of drinks but they will make most drinks if they have it when asked. The hotel is clean and looked after. Many new hotels look much worse than this. It is a four star as ratings are based on services like laundry room service many things people don't even use. There was never a huge que for toilets and there are plenty as there is one in every room. The chairs and sofas are perfectly comfortable. Many guest love the hotel and return many times every year. Until you have stayed you won't know how good the place really is.

      Also there is toilets in the spa. They are really not hard to find.

      I have only shown and stated what it was like whilst I was there. I have made it as clear as I could with the video. As I stated, I was there on an all-inclusive package and there was a drinks menu for that, which was very limited. I have stayed in other Rui Palace Hotels, and they were a whole lot better than this one. I do not expect to have to go up to my room every time I want toilet, when there should be good toilets for everyone in the public areas. I didn't bother with the so-called snack bar, which was only open at lunch time, as they only supplied sandwiches which you made yourself, toast which you cooked yourself, cakes, yoghurt and fruit whilst I was there, but I did state that it was in the main building and you could take your lunch outside. What has staying at the Hilton, (of which I am an honours member), got to do with this hotel? I was not complaining that you had to have a key for the room, I was pointing out that the lock was loose, so it was tricky to get the key in first time every time. I am sorry if you didn't like my video, but it was about showing what it was like for us, and the sort of thing that could be expected by others.

      @@JamesBond-se1kl As you could see on the video, there were no signs showing where the toilets were, so I never found them. If they were inside the actual spa, the doors were not open all the time, in fact they wee locked for a good deal of the day.
