Top Sandbanks Hotel Reviews

Royal Bath Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Booked for our 10th Anniversary and we were upgraded to the Oasis suite, and had the best time ever. Buffet Breakfast was very good, the staff were friendly and greeted us every morning. The lounge bar served bar snacks and meal from 12 till 8pm and we really decided that other than walking around Bournemouth gardens and some shopping we didn't leave the hotel all weekend That in itself is testimony to how good our stay was."

Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel

8/10 Good

"The room was very clean and spacious. The layout of the hotel is a bit odd, with us having to walk across the back parking lot to access the wing our room was in. The hotel itself is in a perfect location for the beach and pier, with one of the public lifts located right outside the front, which takes you down the cliff for a small fee. We did have one oddity, upon check-in our room wasn’t ready, so I took my 3 year old to the pool while we waited, but was told we weren’t allowed to access it until our room was ready… I have stayed at hotels all over the world and never heard of not being able to access the hotel amenities on the day of check-in. This was quite annoying. All in all it was a nice little getaway, just not as accommodating as other hotels I have been to, especially in the Marriott family, I would have expected better."

Hotel Celebrity Bournemouth East Cliff by Villare Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"It was lovely, all the staff were lovely and kind, the rooms were rlly nice and clean also had a fan which was great! It was fun the rooms having themes and the shower/bath was rlly nice! I would 100% recommend and I really enjoyed my stay! It also was a really good distance away from the beach and shops so wasn’t for to talk at all x"

Sandbanks Hotel

8/10 Good

"I will return to this hotel as it’s on the beach, the staff are friendly and my room was very clean and comfortable and I had a lovely sea view. I wish there were more healthier options for lunch and dinner, I should next time order poached eggs for breakfast, but I was a bit shy doing that. I should say that I tried to go to The Haven one lunchtime, to have lunch, as my grandfather stayed there a lot in the 60’s and despite the receptionist saying it was open, it was totally deserted, and the nearby bar staff were completely dismissed of me."
