Top Shell Bay Beach Hotel Reviews
Laguna Hotel
8/10 Good
"Great place to stay for a few nights, but rooms are looking dated now, could do with renovation. No toiletries provided, no aircon or fan provided in a warm room"
Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We have a fabulous stay made extra enjoyable by the wonderful staff at the hotel. The room was perfect and so was the pool. See you next year."
Bournemouth West Cliff Hotel & Spa
8/10 Good
"Staff were very helpful and friendly, pool was on the small size with a section roped off for swimming lessons but clean. Room was very large however the sofa which doubles as a bed was disgusting with crumbs and Lego inside. The walls also had multiple dirty marks on. There wasn’t a good selection of toiletries which for a spa hotel was disappointing. Breakfast was good with a nice selection on offer. I would stay again"
Haven Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"I found this hotel charming. Bit frayed around the edges - bathroom dated and whole place could do with a makeover. However the views, location and staff were outstanding and I would definitely go back again"
Harbour Heights Hotel
8/10 Good
"The view of the harbour is why you stay here and it doesn’t disappoint- just stunning. Locals and visitors flock to the outside terrace to enjoy a cocktail overlooking the harbour. We ate at the restaurant and both food and drinks were good but our dinner order was misplaced so we waited 75 minutes between starter and main. As an apology we weren’t charged. The room looked a bit tired and in need of a refurb but it was clean and the bed was comfy. We also had a view of the harbour (free upgrade). Staff was friendly but service is a bit chaotic - the staff lack set routines and need some training. The breakfast was tasty."
Royal Bath Hotel
8/10 Good
"For the price paid, there are no complaints. But my goodness, this is now a 2-star hotel in a very old 5-star building. But great location, lots of character. The buffet food was basic."
Sandbanks Hotel
8/10 Good
"Amazing seaviews with beach access."
Apartment in the sandbanks
8/10 Good
"The location can’t be beat - 1min walk to a path leading to the beach for morning swims. Just a few minutes walk to the chain ferry. A lovely outlook with pine trees and sea glimpses. Spacious, light and comfortable. Just a few things like lack of hand soap in bathrooms, balcony and balcony furniture that we needed to clean before using and lack of homely/useful touches like teabags, local maps/books etc made me take off a star. Otherwise we a lovely stay, thank you!"
Modern apartment on Sandbanks Peninsula, with private garden. (pet friendly)
10/10 Excellent
"Overall our stay was excellent right in the middle of a heatwave. Only niggle was slow water trickle and no hot water to hand basin in bathroom but put up with it as we were only there for 3 nights.Be aware double bed mattress is very soft!"
