Top Sandbanks Beach Hotel Reviews

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"Too many staff reductions which has resulted in a decline of customer satisfaction Breakfast wasn’t as well cooked as previous visits, as many items were over cooked whilst others were under cooked, plus reduced offerings Also disappointed with the taste and presentation of the meals served in the Italian restaurant It’s clear that there has been a change in senior management and chief"

Laguna Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel to me had a great feeling and the staff were professional and friendly. Parking was excellent. And location toward Westbourne was much better in my opinion as easy access to shops and lovely walk down The Avenue to front etc. lovely period side of the area. The hotel is a little dated and reflects a similar interior to other more traditional seaside hotels. Yes it needs some fresh sealant on baths and perhaps the squeaky floor boards need some work but the overall feel outweighed those bits. Some guests need to learn how to close a door quietly at 6am. I do think a walk round with a screwdriver would solve some really basic issues (and happy to elaborate off record). The pool was fine. I forgot to look at gardens which are i think one of largest a hotel has in Bournemouth area. And you could walk into bournemouth almost down through ‘bournemouth gardens’ which are actually lovely. Despite negatives the positives were great and thank you. May not be walkable to front for some but there were bus stops. Despite being near overpass it was actually really quiet. Food looked excellent but i didn’t eat as breakfast started too late at 8am for work and trips."

The Durley Dean Hotel

8/10 Good

"Excellent value for money. Have previously enjoyed the spa which is no longe available but other facilities all good."

Haven Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel would definitely stay here again"

Harbour Heights Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had a pet friendly room overlooking the harbour. It was a good size and ample for our two dogs. Some of the furniture is now a little tired, but the bed was comfortable. The reception staff were very helpful and gave our dogs lots of fuss and attention. The restaurant team in the evenings was exceptional. They couldn’t do enough for us. Accommodated us at short notice and even repositioned us so we could watch the sun set. The food was fantastic. The team at breakfast were far less welcoming and a little more care was needed when cooking. We had overcooked bacon and eggs."

The Knoll House

8/10 Good

"Lovely location, lots of facilities and great breakfast"
