“In my opinion, this beachfront hotel presents a mixed experience. The spa stands out, and I believe its location near Bournemouth Pier is ideal, but some aspects, like the hotel's exterior, require updating. I think a family might enjoy the pools and dining options despite some inconsistencies.”

the breakfast was acceptable with usual selections available.
The receptionist acted rudely and handled my situation poorly. i received a phone call about 'paint' on the towels and door in the bathroom. She accused me and my partner of painting in the bathroom. the receptionist took a £50 fee from my card without my authorization before even calling me!

the staff were polite and created a cute atmosphere. i found the food to be lovely . i had a sea view room and it was worth it, i thought. the room also featured a comfortable bed.
there was no air conditioning in the room and i did not see this information clearly stated. the fan in the room seemed very weak and dusty. i noticed constant banging of doors, this disrupted sleep. the restaurant had a basic menu.
