i had a birthday getaway in one of their unique rooms, it was super spacious! i loved having a bath and shower. the little garden and a rooftop room gave us an awesome sea view.

i am reviewing the scarlet tranquility spa day. i found the clifftop barrel sauna was not working. i was told the sauna was "cooler than usual saunas" then they admitted to be "waiting for a part". it was disappointing not to have been told the sauna wasn't operational.
