"The Astronomer Restaurant. Well for starters this restaurant was Amazing! The service from waiters, Liam and Nicholas did not disappoint, very professional, service with a smile ! The food was great and they made sure temperature was hot! Head Chef Jaime even came out to ensure we were taken care of. We are staying at the Hyatt for 8 days and we are pleased that if we don’t want to venture out, we don’t have to with customer service like this! We give them a 10 out of 10! Thank you for making our stay memorable"

"The place is really nice and the food tastes delicious.
I would say all is worth it, but if you are hungry like we were than be prepared to pay for extras.
I'm changing my mind completely... When l checked my bank today I was surprised with £5 extra being charged on my account!
I can imagine it may be tip, but the amount wasn't visible on receipt yesterday!! I think l should make my own decision regarding tips!
I only went to feed my daughter and have not expected to pay £40!
Not very nicely played!!!!"
