Top Hotels Near Blue Reef Aquarium in Newquay from AU$75

"The hotel itself was lovely and felt opulent and quite grand - until you got into the rooms. We paid quite a lot of money for what was described as a Superior Double and were told we had been upgraded to a honeymoon suite as it was my wife's birthday. Sadly the first room was awful with paint coming off the walls and no bulbs in the ceiling (the wires were actually hanging down and exposed). We complained and were offered the room next door, which was bigger and seemed better, but we soon realised the furnishings were very poor quality and way past their best. The bathroom was superb but was completely out of sync with the rest of the room. The balcony was out of bounds too as it was unsafe! This was a big room but was most definitely not of a standard that merits the title of honeymoon suite."

"The room was clean and the bed comfy. We had a side view of the sea and it was lovely to hear the waves overnight. Breakfast lovely as always."

"We had a fabulous stay here at the Griffin, the evening food was delicious, the breakfast was brilliant too. Beds are comfortable and rooms are very nice. Couldn’t fault the staff, very welcoming and friendly "

"Staff were super friendly and helpful. Room was spotless. Great comfortable bed."

"Lovely hotel, and staff were great!! Clean room, comfy bed!!"

"Clean, fresh, tidy, quiet. Absolutely exceptional."

"After being let down by another booking, we chose Oceanside as a last-minute option — and we’re so glad we did. We booked a sea-view room and it absolutely lived up to expectations. The room was spacious and airy, with stunning views across Fistral Beach and the golf course. The bed was large and very comfortable, and the room had all the usual amenities you’d expect — mini fridge, coffee, bottled water and more. The hotel bar serves Rattler, and there’s a great outdoor terrace to relax on. It’s ideally located, just a short walk to both the town and Fistral. There’s also private parking at the rear of the hotel, which is free at this time of year — a real bonus. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout. We genuinely have no complaints and will definitely be returning soon."

"Absolutely fantastic half term family holiday! We returned to The Esplanade Hotel again and wow it's still so wonderful, perched on the golden sands of Fistral, the beach certainly is your playground! From the moment we arrived to when we sadly had to leave everything was perfect - spotlessly clean throughout, great swimming pool, delicious food to include a highly recommended afternoon tea, wonderfully furnished bedrooms with beautiful sea views and the highlight being outstanding service from each and every member of staff! Every aspect of this hotel is geared up for the family with great children's entertainment every day. The manager Claudia certainly knows how to run a hotel with her brilliant team, thank you! Her attention to detail is marvellous, it's the little touches! We will be back, again!"

"Absolutely lovely location. Brilliant views across Towan Island, beach and across to the harbour.Able to walk across the road and down the stairs for early morning cold dip, and then again in the afternoon suited up for a surf. Excellent for knowing exactly what the surf is doing so you don't have to waste time going to the beach, checking the surf, and having to come back ... it's all there right out of the window."
