My husband and I got married at the Esplanade in September. The bedrooms were clean, comfortable, and many had beautiful views of the sea and pier. The dining room and lounge were just right for the meal, reception and disco. It's size made for a lovely, intimate wedding that we and the 60+ guests enjoyed greatly. The staff, especially Charli,... More

All seemed ok, except for a strange unpleasant smell in the room. Then the entertainment started. I was above it and it was so... More
