positive:
The leisure centre is wonderful
What a treat it is to stay at a hotel with an in-house leisure centre. You can take a dip in the indoor pool and then make the rounds of the steam room, sauna and hot tub before you wander leisurely back to your room for a well-deserved cat nap.
positive:

Negative Reviews
negative:
The Wi-Fi is spotty
The Internet connection in the guest rooms at Bay Eden Arms Hotel can be slow and spotty which could be problematic if you are travelling on business, want to get an email out in a hurry or use your devices on demand. But if needs be, you can go to the public spaces where the Wi-Fi is spot-on.
negative:
The food is so-so
Sometimes the food here is not what it should be, especially when it comes to the temperatures of the dishes. Often, they come to your table cold or really overcooked and lacking in the flavours you'd hoped for.
negative:
Housekeeping is hit or miss
Sometimes the housekeeping staff is thorough and sometimes it really missed the mark. Carpets that need a good cleaning and dust in places long-neglected are the worst offenders.
