First stayed here in 1996 and had a fantastic time! Great place, full of people for across the world.
Stayed again over the next few years, our last visit in 2001 and watched the place s-l-o-w-l-y deteriorate.
Called in to check the place out in August 2007 and again in January this year.
So sad to see the place now. The pool area was empty, where once you had to fight to get a sun-lounge (see other entries on the Forum on this subject!)
BHR used to have the best pool and the best and friendly staff.
It is so sad to see a place that had such vibrance and vitality literally "go down the gurgler".
We walked from the beach and were so disappointed to see what used to be beautiful gardens now so neglected.
The place has so much potential. The location is superb - just needs a change in thinking on how to get (and keep) visitors.
Much more than a coat of paint.
