Having just returned from what should have been a two night stay at this hotel I am compelled to write my first ever review for tripadvisor. We arrived at the hotel a little early for check-in and were given a very lukewarm welcome from the receptionist who made no effort to see if our room was ready a little early.... More

We stayed here for our final night in Weymouth after a week in a cold and damp cottage. Location: it is located close to the beach about five minutes by car from the main attractions in Weymouth. Check-in: the receptionist was friendly but check-in was very slow. There were two people in front of us and it took about ten... More

Such a beautiful aspect and view - even in poor weather but spectacular when the sun was shining, and the recent refurbishment of the rooms and restuarant was very tasteful and well thought out. Beds so comfortable and rooms were cosy when we needed extra heating. And the heated indoor and heated outdoor pools (with extra outdoor pool for kiddies)... More

Exactly fifty years ago I worked at this hotel when it was Pontins and I wanted to return for old times sake. Having read previous reviews my husband and I arrived with some trepidation. We needn't have worried. We stayed midweek and had a first floor sea view room with good ensuite shower room. The view over Weymouth Bay was... More

When we arrived at 5:30pm, we were told that the receptionist would first have to check whether our rooms were ready yet (despite check-in being from 3pm). Luckily they were, though it appeared that the cleaning had been done rather hastily. There was no lift nor any offer of help heaving heavy cases up the narrow stairs to our room.... More

A two night break this past weekend (26/27 May) was thoroughly enjoyable in this well-modernised hotel. Refurbished around a year ago, the building has a Greek look and feel about it, especially in the strong sunshine we were lucky enough to have enjoyed. The outdoor pool was superb, as was the indoor one. The core restaurant staff were excellent and... More

After walking 20 miles around Weymouth and the coastal path getting to the hotel from the Pie and Ale pub was a nice relief. The hotel looks miles away (about a 30 minute stroll) but it's away from the main road and noise of people which is good. Despite out initial concerns at being put out the back of the... More

You can really see that the new owners have invested heavily in turning the former holiday camp site into a new modern hotel. The restaurant for breakfast (only meal we ate here) was modern as were the fixtures and fittings in the bedroom. First impressions are key in hotels (especially when the room rate is £120 per night) and the... More
